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.

The chair and twist-boat are energy minima and are therefore conformers, while the half-chair and the boat are transition states and represent energy maxima. The idea that the chair conformation is the most stable structure for cyclohexane was first proposed as early as 1890 by Hermann Sachse, but only gained widespread acceptance much later.
The crystal structure is monoclinic with the / group. The crystal cell parameters are a = 1014.35 pm , b = 815.42 pm, c = 862.39 pm, β = 92.3556 ° , Z = 4. The cell volume is 0.71270 nm 3 , or about 0.178 nm 3 per molecule (which is a bit smaller than the typical volumes of other isomers).
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.
