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.
