Answer:

$\huge\bf\underline{\red{A}\green{N}\orange{S}\pink{W}\purple{E}\blue{R}}$

CH3 - CH2 - CH2- CH3

➡️It's IUPAC name is butane.

${\red{\bigstar}}$ For more information, according to the number of carbon atoms, we use their word root.

1 C-atom = meth

2 C -atom = eth

3 C -atom = prop

4 C-atom = but

5 C-atom = pen

6 C-atom = sex

7 C-atom = hep

8 C-atom = oct

9 C-atom = non

So since the given structure has 4 C - atoms it's word root is "but".

And the linkage between each C-atom is "single bond" so it's primary suffix is "ane".

$\huge{\red{\therefore}}$ It's IUPAC name is butane.
