Answer:

true

Explanation:

Step by step explanation:

Count the number of Carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon chain.

Try to identify the functional group present in the hydrocarbon chain. { A functional group is a group of heteroatoms that confer specific chemical properties to the hydrocarbon molecule irrespective of the length of the hydrocarbon chain. }

Depending on the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon chain, use the following prefixes to begin the name of the molecule -

Meth — 1 C

Eth — 2 C

Prop — 3 C

But — 4 C

Pent — 5 C

Hex — 6 C

Hept — 7 C

Oct — 8 C

Non — 9 C

Deca — 10 C

Once you have identified the number of Carbon atoms present and decided to move on with a prefix, use the suffix of the respective functional group present in the hydrocarbon chain.

In this case, the number of carbon atoms is four{4} and the functional group present here is the carboxylic acid functional group ( -COOH )which carries the suffix 'oic acid'. { Don't forget to count the carbon atom present in the functional group }

On combining the two according to the IUPAC naming nomenclature, (as mentioned above) we get Butanoic acid.
