When a fat molecules carbon chain is bonded to hydrogen atoms is it saturated polyunsaturated dehydrogenated or polymerized?

providing that thee are no double bonds (which i think you are trying to say) it is saturated.
unsaturated means that there is at least 1 double bond
polyunsaturated means that there are at least 2 double bonds
dehydrogenated means that is is either unsaturated or polyunsaturated since hydrogen was removed forcing double bonds to form
polymerized means that 2 unsaturated carbon chains bonded to each other in order to get rid of the strained double or triple bond ( this can only happen to unsaturated compounds)
you can determine weather or not it is unsaturated by determining if the number of hydrogen atoms is less than (number carbon)2 + 2 , if it is less than it is unsaturated.

What are the differences between saturated unsaturated mono saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Fats are a type of triglyceride. This is aglycerol ( H-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-H ) molecule reacted with three fatty acids. ( R-COOH ) where R is a long chain carbon molecule. In this chain there can be single carbon carbon bonds or double carbon carbon bonds. A saturated fat is one where all bonds are single. A monounsaturated fat contains a single carbon carbon double bond. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one. If R is H-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO-O-G it is a saturated fat. If it is H-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CO-O-G it is monounsaturated. If it is H-CH=CH-CH=CH-CO-O-G then it has two and therefore polyunsaturated. The G stands for glycerol (Sometimes glycerine) .
What is worse polyunsaturated fat or saturated fat?
Saturated Fat is worse as it damages your Heart
What fat is the most unhealthy monounsaturated saturated polyunsaturated?
The polyunsaturated fats are considered now as healthful.
What is the structural difference between a polyunsaturated fat and a saturated fat?
There are double bonds present in the fatty acid chains of a polyunsaturated but none in a saturated fat.courtesy of Edward XOX
Which fat is better for you saturated fat polyunsaturated fat hydrogenated fat trans fatty acids?
polyunsaturated fat
What are the three types of fats?
Saturated, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated trans fat, unsaturated fat, and saturated fat
Is safflower oil a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.
What process is used to convert polyunsaturated oils into saturated fats?
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats
What are two type of fats?
