Explanation:

  • According to IUPAC naming, the name of the organic compound is according to the number of carbon atoms present in it.
  • Since a ketone does not have less than 3 carbon atoms, it starts with propanone.

  • Remember that there are two methyl groups and one functional group C=O in the smallest ketone.
  • As it has 3 carbon atoms, it is propanone. Anything less and it would be an aldehyde.
