You can also see that oleic acid is not saturated.
Are unsaturated fats solid at room temperature.
This fatty acid is unsaturated.
Now imagine the links in a chain that bend move and flow.
They are liquid at room temperature.
Saturated fats in contrast are typically found in meat products and are solid at room temperature.
Fats made up of saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature.

There are some exceptions but most are solid at room temperature.
Polyunsaturated fats include safflower oil sunflower oil and corn oil.

This type of unsaturated fat contains two or more double bonds in their structure.
Monounsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and include canola oil and olive oil.
The chain links are similar to the loose bonds that make unsaturated fat fluid or liquid at room temperature like the oil on top of a salad dressing or in a can of tuna.
