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 determines whether a carbon atom's covalent bonds to other atoms are in a tetrahedral configuration or a planar configuration?
the presence or absence of double bonds between the carbon atom and other atoms
H2CO how many bonds?
There are four total covalent bonds in H2CO. There is a single double bond between the oxygen and the carbon and two single bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
Can carbon atoms only form a single bond between other carbon atoms?
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.
How many bonds are in alkenes when two carbon atoms are joined?
In an alkene with two carbon atoms being joined, there would be one double bond between the carbon atoms, and 4 single bonds for the 4 hydrogens, and it would be drawn as follows: H2-C=C-H2. This is ethene, and so it has a total of 5 bonds (unless you count the double bond as a sigma and a pi) then it has 6 bonds.
What bonds can a carbon atom make?
Covalent bonds between carbon atoms; simple, double or triple.
Why can carbon form such strong bonds between atoms?
Because carbon has a double bond gving it double the strength
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a fatty acid?
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?
A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.
A saturated fatty acid will have how man double bonds between various carbon atoms?
It will have one carbon double bond

Can carbon only form single bonds?
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
