Question
Differentiate between: Saturated and unsaturated fats
| Saturated fats | Unsaturated fats |
| 1. In saturated fat, long chains of tetrahedral carbon atoms in the fatty acid get closely packed together. | 1. In unsaturated fats, the presence of one or more C = C bond in long chains of fatty acids, prevent molecules from packing closely together. |
| 2. In saturated fats, the van der Waals forces between long saturated chains are strong. Hence, their melting points are higher than unsaturated fats. | 2. In unsaturated fats, the van der Waals forces between long unsaturated chains are weak. Hence, their melting points are lower than saturated fats. |
