Organic Chemistry - Unsaturated Means a Molecule With Zero Fatty Acids

Organic Chemistry - Unsaturated Means a Molecule With Zero Fatty AcidsHow is it that unsaturated means a molecule with zero fatty acids? In organic chemistry, unsaturated means a molecule with less than 20 carbon atoms. A simple fact to learn about the basic atom is that it's made up of one atom (atoms can be single or double, male or female, solid or liquid) and one group of atoms, so one unsaturated compound is made up of two atoms and two groups of atoms.In our everyday life, we see something called unsaturated oil, but what are we really talking about? When we see it on an ingredient label, we're talking about that oil being listed as mono unsaturated. Any fat content the oil has isn't present. The reason for the word 'mono' is because the mineral oil has two number, two's in a row.So in organic chemistry, unsaturated means a molecule with two unsaturated groups. While some oils are saturated, they do have one or more other groups of atoms that give them some level of saturation. They may be omega-9 fats, trans fats, or even the oil may have other substances, like hydrogenated vegetable oils.There are two ways to convert one unsaturated compound to another. First, you take the mono unsaturated oil and reduce it with hydrogen, then you use this mixture to change any polyunsaturated molecules into a mono unsaturated compound. Or, you can add a group of carbon atoms to the end of the molecule.If you put carbon from glycerin or mineral oil into a compound that already has one of these rings, the polyunsaturated compounds won't change in any way. A saturated compound would not change, if you added the carbon ring to the unsaturated group. The only way to make it change is to take the structure of the original unsaturated molecule and change the group of carbon to another one, which is usually another ring.Unsaturated is actually pretty confusing. In organic chemistry, unsaturated means a molecule with zero fatty acids. It's not a valid term because oils that hav e a lot of saturated fat have many carbons, so they don't need to be called 'unsaturated.'I don't know if people even understand what unsaturated means. Organic chemistry is another science where people still don't know how to say the same thing. If I were an organic chemist, I'd be looking for a better way to describe unsaturated fatty acid, and, hopefully, the scientific community will one day develop a standardized, standardized language.Unsaturated oil is made of one, monounsaturated fatty acid with one or more carbon rings attached to the fatty acid molecule. Monounsaturated means there is no double bond. There are multiple definitions for this term.
