Question

CH3-CH(CH3)-CH( CH3)-CH2-CHO​

Answer 1

Since , there is the presence of functional group - CHO ; aldehyde group . So , there will be suffix ( ending ) ‘ al ‘ to show the presence of aldehyde group .

There are four carbon atoms in the formula . So , the name of the covalent compound is butane . In the IUPAC method the last letter ‘e’ of the parent alkane is replaced by ‘ al ‘ .

Hence , the name of the compound is butanal.

Butane - e + al = Butanal
