Answered by rimjhim144

I hope the answer is Methanoic acid.... because its formula is HCOOH.......

ashisingh65289: For the IUPAC nomenclature, first we have to find the longest carbon chain.
And no doubt here we have only 1 chain of 1 carbon long. :P
So, the root word is ‘meth-'
Moving on to any functional group or substituent.
In HCOOH, we have only one functional group that is –COOH (carboxylic acid) and ni substituent. Due to the presence of carboxylic acid, the suffix of the name is gonna be -oic acid.
☛ Combining both, the name of the compound turns out to be, methanoic acid.
