Unsaturated fats contain double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain. An unsaturated fat containing a single carbon-carbon double bond would be a monounsaturated fat, whilst multiple carbon-carbon bonds would be a polyunsaturated fat. Unsaturated fats are typically a liquid at room temperature.
