A variant name for hexene; an organic compound with six carbon atoms and one double bond.
From Greek 'hex' (six) + '-ine' (chemical suffix variant). This is an alternate chemical nomenclature for the same compound that might be called hexene or hexylene.
Chemical nomenclature has multiple 'correct' names for the same molecule, which confuses beginners but actually reflects different naming systems that highlight different molecular features—it's chemistry's version of synonyms.
