Unsaturated fatty acids have __________ than saturated fatty acids.
lower melting points
Solution
lower melting points
Unsaturated fatty acids have ( lower melting points ) than saturated fatty acids.
Due to presence of olefinic double bonds in unsaturated fatty acid; These molecules do not
"stack" very well. The intermolecular interactions are much weaker than compared to
staurated fatty acids.
In results; staurated fatty acids shows greater melting point values than unsaturated fatty
acids
