Answer:

The chemical structure of a saturated fatty acid exhibits each carbon bonding to the adjacent carbon with single bonds. Each carbon is also bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The linear nature of saturated fatty acids allows for tightly packed formations, causing them to be solid at room temperature
