bonding... nearly twice as much that single). Now, let's move to reactivity. You said that double bond is more reactive which is proven in unsaturated TAG (triacylglycerol) that is easily oxidized. This is true, but just in the term of electrophilic addition and free radical addition. Double bond is composed ...
