    So, we need to know the concept of saturated and unsaturated

    Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double/triple bonds and can absorb more hydrogen atoms.

    Saturated fatty acids do not have the above-mentioned properties

    The difference between soaps made from vegetable oils and from animal fats are that:

    Vegetable oil is unsaturated and therefore the soap is liquid

    Animal fats are saturated and therefore the soap is more solid
