Unsaturated compounds generally carry out typical addition reactions that are not possible with saturated compounds such as alkanes. A saturated organic compound has only single bonds between carbon atoms. An important class of saturated compounds are the alkanes. Many saturated compounds have functional groups, e.g., alcohols.
Saturated and unsaturated compounds of fatty acids Saturated fat; Unsaturated fat "Fat sat", a technical sequence for fat suppression in MRI imaging
Saturated fatty acids 16 and 18 carbons in length are the dominant types in the epidermis, [38] [39] while unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids of various other lengths are also present. [38] [39] The relative abundance of the different fatty acids in the epidermis is dependent on the body site the skin is covering. [39]

Crotonic acid has 4 carbons, is included in croton oil, and is a trans-2-mono-unsaturated fatty acid.C 3 H 5 CO 2 H, IUPAC organization name (E)-but-2-enoic acid, trans-but-2-enoic acid, numerical representation 4:1, n-1, molecular weight 86.09, melting point 72–74 °C, boiling point 180–181 °C, specific gravity 1.027.
For hydrocarbons, the DBE (or IHD) tells us the number of rings and/or extra bonds in a non-saturated structure, which equals the number of hydrogen pairs that are required to make the structure saturated, simply because joining two elements to form a ring or adding one extra bond (e.g., a single bond changed to a double bond) in a structure reduces the need for two H's.
In cellular metabolism, unsaturated fat molecules contain less energy (i.e., fewer calories) than an equivalent amount of saturated fat. The greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid (i.e., the more double bonds in the fatty acid) the more susceptible it becomes to lipid peroxidation ( rancidity ).
Saturated and unsaturated compounds, a classification of compounds related to their ability to resist addition reactions Degree of unsaturation; Saturated fat or saturated fatty acid; Unsaturated fat or unsaturated fatty acid; Non-susceptibility of an organometallic compound to oxidative addition; Saturation of protein binding sites
