unsaturated are oils that have double bonds in their structure because there is not enough hydrogen atoms to bond with the carbon atoms. In such case, carbon atoms bond to each others to form double or triple bonds. adding iodine, saturates the oil as iodine atoms bond to carbon atoms as if they were hydrogen atoms.
This is an answer to the question that should read: How does iodine affect unsaturated fats?

What is the effect of iodine on saturated fats?
Iodine shows its purple color if saturated fat is present in that food/drink. The longer it takes the iodine to clear, the more saturated fat there is i the food/drink.
With what saturated fat saturated?
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
What type of fat is saturated fat?
Saturated fat has all bonding positions where hydrogen atoms could bond occupied by hydrogen atoms.
What is a saturated fat saturated with?
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
What is true of saturated fat?
True of saturated fat is that, it has not a single set of double bond between two near by carbon atoms.
What are the two categories of these are saturated and unsaturated?
Fat can be either saturated or unsaturated. It can not be both at the same time. If there is one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, the fat become unsaturated. If all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds, the fat becomes saturated.
What fat molecule has the most H atoms?
The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.
What are unsaturated fats and saturated fats?
You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.
What are the chemical difference between unsaturated and saturated fat?
All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
What effect does a diet with low saturated fat have?
Lots of camicals Boya
How can you tell if fat is saturated?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
What type of bond makes a saturated fat into an unsaturated fat?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain.Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain and are thus fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.(Wikipedia)
