Question + Question 19 of 23 Would you expect a saturated or an unsaturated fatty acid to have more dispersion forces between molecules of the same type, and why? A) Saturated, because they have more carboxylic acid groups. B) Saturated, because they more naturally stack, so there are more areas where dispersion forces can occur. C) Saturated, because the single carbon bonds are stronger than the double carbon bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. D) Unsaturated, because the double carbon bonds are stronger than the single carbon bonds in saturated fatty acids. E) Unsaturated, because double carbon bonds will interact with other double bonds in a strong dispersion force. acer

Step 1Saturated fatty acids are those in which only carbon -carbon single bonds are present. Unsaturated fatty acids are those in which carbon-carbon double bonds are present . Step 2Generally alkanes I.e. saturated hydrocarbons has higher dispersion forces than unsaturated  because they have all single bonds with equal bond length which provide more uniform areas where dispersion forces occurs.Which is similar case applied for saturated fatty acids. Step 3So, our answer is,B) Saturated,  because they are more naturally stack , so there are more areas where dispersion forces  can occur ...
