Definition
Relating to or containing a six-carbon chain or structure, particularly in organic chemistry.
Etymology
From hex- (six) + -oic (suffix for carboxylic acids and chemical properties). This adjective form developed as chemists created a systematic nomenclature for organic compounds based on their carbon chain length.
Kelly Says
The suffix '-oic' in chemistry is powerful—hexanoic acid, hexoic alcohol, and other hexoic compounds are fundamentally defined by having exactly six carbons, which chemists can predict will give certain physical properties and chemical behaviors.
