scilearner Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Is it because they are unsaturated and can unfold. I understand how one radical would create another radical but I don't know exactly how radical could spread in a fatty acid chain. Any diagram would be useful.

Horza2002 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey. Unsaturated fatty acids have carbon-carbon double bonds in them. These are very suseptible to radicals as they can undergo reactions. Try looking up radical chemical reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
