Which one of these statements is incorrect? a. Unsaturated fats are more reactive than saturated fats because they react easily with oxygen from the air. b. Saturated fats are more reactive than unsaturated fats because they are easily hydrogenated. c. Unsaturated fats are less reactive than saturated fats because they are very stable toward the photo-oxidation. d. The carbon-carbon double bond in the saturated fats is stable toward oxidation. e. (a) and (b) are incorrect f. (b) and (c) are incorrect g. (a) and (c) are incorrect h. All these statements are incorrect
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which statement about unsaturated and saturated fats is incorrect. It presents several options related to their reactivity and stability in relation to oxidation, and the task is to identify the false statement among them.
Answer
(f) (b) and (c) are incorrect.
The final answer is (f) (b) and (c) are incorrect.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is (f) (b) and (c) are incorrect.
More Information
Unsaturated fats have double bonds, making them more reactive than saturated fats. Saturated fats do not hydrogenate easily because they are more stable without double bonds.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the stability of double bonds with reactivity; double bonds make a compound more likely to react.
