Sunflower oil, like all oils, are organic compounds. An oil, by definition, is a chain of carbon molecules with mostly hydrogen atoms attached along the chain. In the case of sunflower oil, there are positions in which there are less hydrogen atoms attached because there is a double covalent bond in the carbon backbone, making sunflower oil an unsaturated oil.
