Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The tail usually contains even number of carbon atoms. Each fatty acid differs in their chain length, degree of saturation, and position of double bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is: Mostly how saturated the chemical bonds in the fat molecule are in hydrogen atoms. The more hydrogen atoms a fatty acid has, the more “saturated” it is, and the higher its melting temperature will be.
Detailed explanation-3: -The degree of saturation of fatty acids describes the number of carbon to carbon double bonds within their structure. The greater the degree of saturation of a fatty acid, the greater its rigidity. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds.
