How does the double bond influence the dispersion forces that can form between the hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids? Fill in the blanks
· trans double
· cis double
· saturated fatty acids
· cis fatty
· unsaturated fatty acids
· fewer
· single
· greater
· saturated fatty
· trans fatty
· In , the bonds cause the carbon chain to bend or "kink", which gives the molecules an irregular shape. As a result, acids cannot stack as closely as and thus have dispersion forces between their carbon chains.
