Electronegativity is a measure of how badly an atom wants electrons. The higher an atom's electronegativity, the more greedy it is for electrons, the more it wants to try to steal them from other atom's. This involves a concept called ionic bonding because there are electron givers and electron takers. This has to do with whether an element is a metal or a nonmetal.

Metals are very generous and are willing to let go of or give there electrons away. On the other hand, nonmetals don't give up their electrons.

a decrease in Km and an increase in Vmax
km is the constant that relates how thick the volume of the substrate in terms of concentration when the speed is a large portion of the most extreme. They increment Km by meddling with the joining process that makes them stick together wit the substrate, however they have any effect with regards to Vmax since since the sticking process to ES did not occur

A scientist has isolated a fatty acid that has 26 carbons. most of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain are connected by sin

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:
Based on giveninformation, the compound is a Poly Unsaturated fatty acid.

Explanation:
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with -COOH functional group and a chain of hydrocarbons.

Fatty Acids are classified as,

i) Saturated Fatty Acids:
Those Fatty Acids in which there is no double bond between the carbon chain are called as saturated fatty acids.

Examples:
Lauric Acid CH₃(CH₂)₁₀COOH

Myristic Acid CH₃(CH₂)₁₂COOH

Palmitic Acid CH₃(CH₂)₁₄COOH

ii) Unsaturated Fatty Acids:
Those Fatty Acids in which contain a single double bond (mono-unsaturated) or more than one double bond (poly-unsaturated) d between the carbon atoms in a chain are called as unsaturated fatty acids.

Examples:
Linoleic acid

Vaccenic acid

Palmitoleic acid

The saturated fatty acid containing 26 carbon atoms is called as Cerotic acid. While cerotic acid containing a double bond at position 3 and 9 has a IUPAC name Hexacosa-3,9-dienoic acid with following structure.
