In contrary to it, as @shrutipande9 said unsaturated fatty acids have double bond (one or more)

OpenStudy (somy):

unsaturated fat is the one that has double bonds in its structure and is liquid at room temperature saturated is the one has single bonds only in its structure and is solid at room temperature
