1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane shows cis,trans isomerism. At one time, a crude mixture of these isomers was sold as an insecticide.

Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.
