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.

Functional isomers are structural isomers which have different functional groups, resulting in significantly different chemical and physical properties. [ 11 ] An example is the pair propanal H 3 C–CH 2 –C(=O)-H and acetone H 3 C–C(=O)–CH 3 : the first has a –C(=O)H functional group, which makes it an aldehyde , whereas the second has ...
Isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties. Two main forms of isomerism are structural (or constitutional) isomerism, in which bonds between the atoms differ; and stereoisomerism (or spatial isomerism), in which the bonds are the same but the relative positions of the atoms differ. Isomeric relationships form a ...

Of these D-isomers, all except D-altrose occur in living organisms, but only three are common: D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose. The L -isomers are generally absent in living organisms; however, L -altrose has been isolated from strains of the bacterium Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens .
The most stable trans-isomers of 10 ring or greater cycloalkenes exhibit 4 irregularities from standard geometric norms. The first irregularity is twisted planes of substituents along the C=C. Using C=C as the stable axis, 2 substituents of 1 carbon can be visualized on the same plane, equally applied to the other carbon.
