The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms. When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a ____________ formation exists. The ____________ form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of the bond

Respuesta :

Answer:

  1. CIS
  2. TRANS

Explanation:

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a CIS formation exists. The TRANS form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of the bond.
