1
New cards

Cause

Restricted rotation around C=C double bonds

2
New cards

Requirement

Must have two different groups on both carbons of the double bond

3
New cards

Cis Isomer

Matching groups/hydrogens are on the same side of the double bond.


4
New cards

Trans Isomer

Matching groups/hydrogens are on opposite sides of the double bond.

5
New cards

Saturated Fats

No C=C double bonds; straight hydrocarbon chains pack tightly solid/waxy at room temperature

6
New cards

Unsaturated Fats

  • Contain natural cis C=C double bonds; causes a kink/bend in the chain, preventing close packing liquid oils at room temperature.
