1 answer:
In a CIS fatty acid, the hydrogen atoms are ON THE SAME SIDE of the double bond, which produces a kink in the carbon chain.
In a TRANS fatty acid, the hydrogen atoms are ON OPPOSITE SIDE of the double bond, which gives a carbon chain without any kink.
In unsaturated fatty acids (with one or more double bonds between carbon atoms), the cis double bonds cause the carbon chain to bend (kink), which gives the molecules an irregular shape (see the picture below).
Cis fatty acids are not as close as trans fatty acids, so they have fewer dispersion forces between their carbon chains.
Cis fatty acids have lower melting and boiling points than trans fatty acids.

Answer: Order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:
Mg > Zn > Fe > H > Cu
Explanation: Reactivity of the elements is the tendency of the elements to loose or gain electrons with ease.
As, all the given elements are metals, so the metals which will loose electrons easily will be more reactive. To study the reactivity of metals, we use reactivity series.
The metals which are more reactive are placed on the top of the reactivity series and which are less reactive are placed at the bottom.
Hence, the order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:
Mg > Zn > Fe > H > Cu
Reactivity series is attached below.
