Answer:
For instance, while saturated fats are solids, due to their structure at room temperature, unsaturated fats, such as oils, have bends in their hydrocarbon tails from double bonding in their carbon-to-carbon bonds. The bends cause the oils to be liquids or semi-solids in room temperature.

There are exceptions for the same.
Some of them are are found in liquid state as the close packing of these blocks is similar to the tightly packed molecules that make saturated fats appear solid. The building blocks of unsaturated fats have bends or kinks that don't allow the blocks to be tightly stacked and thus, appear more fluid and are liquid at room temperature.
