Both vegetable oil and butter are made up of fats.
Why is butter a solid at room temperature, while vegetable oil is a liquid?
A)Butter is a saturated fat and vegetable oil is an unsaturated fat.
В)
Butter is a polar molecule and vegetable oil is a nonpolar molecule.
C) Butter is an unsaturated fat and vegetable oil is a saturated fat.
D) Butter is a nonpolar molecule and vegetable oil is a polar molecule.

Butter, as good as it is, is not exactly good for us. Butter is an animal fat, or a saturated fat. This means that at room temperature these fats will remain solid. There is some science behind it and ill say this quickly, it has to do with the carbon atoms being packed with hydrogen atoms. This allows them to intertwine and be solid. The Vegetable Oil being unsaturated, a plant fat, is good for us! These are missing some of the atoms needed to make them stand up straight and be solid. So these are always liquid at room temperature! :)

We have that for the Question "Both vegetable oil and butter are made up of fats. Why is butter a solid at room temperature, while vegetable oil is a liquid?"

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer(Butter is a saturated fat and vegetable oil is an unsaturated fat)

Explanation:

Butter contains more saturated fat., vegetable oil contains more unsaturated fat.

Melting point of Saturated fat less than melting point of Unsaturated fat

Intermolecular interactions in saturated fats greater than Intermolecular interactions in Unsaturated fats

Saturated molecules are so close and forms a solid. UnSaturated molecules are not so close and forms a liquid at room temperature
