Answer:

Coconut oil, Olive oil and Sunflower oil

Explanation:

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long unbranched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

There are three main classes of fatty acids which are explained as under:

1. Saturated Fatty acids: These fatty acids have long carbon chain with two hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. This saturation of fatty acids make the fatty acids more stable towards high temperature. These fatty acids becomes solid at room temperature. Coconut oil and butter are the examples of saturated fatty acids.

2. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there is a carbon atom which is double bonded with another carbon atom and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of this single double-bond, the fatty acid is termed as monounsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are liquid at room temperature but solidify in refrigerator. Olive oil is an example of such fatty acids.

3. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: In a long carbon chain, if there are two or more than two carbon atoms which are double bonded with each other and rest is saturated with hydrogen atoms, because of multiple double bonds, such fatty acids are termed as polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because of higher unsaturation, these fatty acids are liquid in both normal room temperature and in refrigerator. Such unsaturation also make them unfit for cooking purposes. Sunflower oil, Soyabean oil and Flaxseed oil are examples of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid? Compare the taste of the base and the acid. Use a conductivit
Gnoma [55]
Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.

How many unpaired electrons are in the c 2 + ​ ion?
sladkih [1.3K]
Atomic number of C is 6. Hence, there are 6 electrons in carbon.

The electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2, 2s2, 2p2

Here, there are 2 unpaired electron. However, C2+ ions have 2 electrons less as compared to C.

Hence, electronic configuration of C 2+ ion is 1s2, 2s2. All the electrons are paired in this system. So there are no unpaired electrons in C 2+ ion.
