  2. Hexene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexene

    In organic chemistry, hexene is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 6 H 12.The prefix "hex" is derived from the fact that there are 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, while the "-ene" suffix denotes that there is an alkene present—two carbon atoms are connected via a double bond.

  4. 1-Hexene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Hexene

    1-Hexene (hex-1-ene) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 12.It is an alkene that is classified in industry as higher olefin and an alpha-olefin, the latter term meaning that the double bond is located at the alpha (primary) position, endowing the compound with higher reactivity and thus useful chemical properties. 1-Hexene is an industrially significant linear alpha olefin.

    The rest are named with a Greek numeric prefix, with the exceptions of nonane which has a Latin prefix, and undecane which has mixed-language prefixes. Cyclic alkanes are simply prefixed with "cyclo-": for example, C 4 H 8 is cyclobutane (not to be confused with butene) and C 6 H 12 is cyclohexane (not to be confused with hexene).

  6. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Simple cycloalkanes have a prefix "cyclo-" to distinguish them from alkanes. Cycloalkanes are named as per their acyclic counterparts with respect to the number of carbon atoms in their backbones, e.g., cyclopentane (C 5 H 10 ) is a cycloalkane with 5 carbon atoms just like pentane (C 5 H 12 ), but they are joined up in a five-membered ring.

  9. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis–trans_isomerism

    The prefixes "cis" and "trans" are from Latin: "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively. [1] In the context of chemistry, cis indicates that the functional groups (substituents) are on the same side of some plane, while trans conveys that they are on opposing (transverse) sides.
