Question

Which of the following statement is true about saturated fatty acids:

• A. One single bond between carbon atoms.
• B. Double carbon bond between carbon atoms.
• C. Tri-carbon bond between carbon atoms.
• D. Double carbon bond between hydrogen atoms.

Hint:

”Saturated” refers to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms, with no double bonds present.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Saturated fatty acids consist of carbon chains where all the carbon atoms are connected by single bonds. This structure results in straight chains, making them solid at room temperature (e.g., butter).
