An example for a saturated fatty acid, present in nature is

Answer»

OLEIC acid
linoleic acid
LINOLENIC acid
palmitic acid

Solution :Oleic acid - `C_(17)H_(33)COOH` linoleic acid -`C_(17)H_(31)COOH`, linolenic acid - `C_(17) H_(29)COOH`, palmitic acid - `C_(15)H_(31) COOH`
Saturated monocarboxylic ACIDS form a homologous series which has a general formula `C_(n)H_(2n+1)COOH`or `C_(n)H_(2n)O_(2)`. Only palmitic acid follows this
