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.
