There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, as saturated means all the carbon valance positions are taken up by hydrogen, so only single covalent bonds.

What fatty acid has no double bonds between carbon atoms?
A saturated fat. Saturated with hydrogen at the bonding site freed up by lack of carbon-carbon double bonds. This fat packs tightly and is solid at room temperature.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a saturated fatty acid-?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Fatty acids containing at least one double or triple covalent bond is called?
These fatty acids are called saturated fats. These are often some of the worst fats for the body.
What kind of bonding is necessary to produce a saturated fatty-acid?
Unlike unsaturated fatty acids, which contain double carbon bonds, saturated fatty acids have enough hydrogen bonded to their carbon atoms so that they can only have single bonds.
What kind of fatty acid has only single bonds?
In saturated fatty acids are there only single bonds in the carbon chain.
Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What is a distinguished characteristic of a saturated fatty acids?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
Why do saturated fatty acids have straight structure while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structure?
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.
What fatty acid has no double bonds between carbon atoms?
A saturated fat. Saturated with hydrogen at the bonding site freed up by lack of carbon-carbon double bonds. This fat packs tightly and is solid at room temperature.

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
What is a distinguishably characteristic of a saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
