Answered by GK
Unsaturated fats (oils) contain one or more double bonds that are chemically active. That makes them vulnerable to oxidation and to breaking of the long fatty acid chain at the double bond into shorter fatty acid chains. What does this tell you about the relative stability of the two types of fats?
