Fats and oils with low melting points indicate that they have more double bonds in their fatty acid chains, and vice versa. This is because double bonds cause kinks in the fatty acid chains hence reduce the strength of attraction between adjacent fatty acid chains, by hydrohen bonds, that increase melting points due to the amount of energy required to break these bonds.
