Question 8 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

If the last carbon atom of an unsaturated fatty acid is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom, what type of bond must exist between the last carbon and the other carbon atom?

Answer
A
quadruple
B
single
C
triple
D
double

Explanation

Carbon typically forms four bonds. The last carbon already has two bonds to hydrogen, so it needs two more bonds to complete its valence; therefore, its bond to the other carbon must be double. The correct choice is double.
