The statement which is NOT true about saturated and unsaturated fats is Choice C: Saturated fats, because they lack double bonds between their carbon atoms, stay liquid at room temperature while unsaturated fats form solids.
Generally, fats are classified as either Saturated or Unsaturated fats.
- Saturated fats are fats which are saturated with hydrogen, and consequently have only single C-C bonds.
- Contrarily, unsaturated fats are not saturated because they lack available electrons to bond with hydrogen and consequently, have double bonds between successive Carbon atoms in their structure.
As a result of the statements above;
- Saturated fats can pack more tightly and form solids at room temperature while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.
Inference from the statements above therefore suggests that the statement which is not true is Choice C: Saturated fats, because they lack double bonds between their carbon atoms, stay liquid at room temperature while unsaturated fats form solids.
