Answer:

Double bond

Explanation:

Carbon is a tetravalent atom. This implies that the carbon atom always forms four covalent bonds.

These four covalent  bonds may be single, double or triple bonds. Compounds that contain double and triple bonds are said to be "unsaturated".

If the last carbon atom of an unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom, it means that the bond between the last carbon and the other carbon atom must be a double bond because carbon must be tetravalent and we have already been told that the fatty acid is unsaturated.

The last carbon atom of the unsaturated fatty acid must form two covalent bonds to the other carbon atom in order to respect the tetravalency of carbon.

Each glucose molecule consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. If each molecule contains 53.3% oxygen and 6.7% hydro
MAVERICK [17]
53.3% + 6.7% = 60%, 100% - 60% = 40%. 40% of glucose is made of carbon. Since there are only three types of atoms in glucose, and the amount of hydrogen and oxygen is already given, this means that whatever percentage is left (40%) has to be carbon.

Paul [167]

Answer:

Never store used oil in anything other than tanks and storage containers. Used oil may also be stored in units that are permitted to store regulated hazardous waste. Tanks and containers storing used oil do not need to be RCRA permitted, however, as long as they are labeled and in good condition.
