Question
Draw the line-angle formula for each of the following fatty acids:a. stearic acidb. linoleic acid
Step 1
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms. This means that all the carbon atoms are connected by single bonds. Linoleic acid, on the other hand, is an unsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms and two double bonds. Show more…
