Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular van der waals interact than the myristic acid.
stearic arid
linoleic acid (two double bond)
Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.
Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.
-one double bond (cis)
Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
