Answer:

1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The structure of the molecule will be as shown in the attached image.
  • The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂.
  • It has 3 membered ring with 3 C atoms and two substituents one of them with one C atom (methyl) and the other with 2 C atoms (ethyl).
  • The ring consist of 3 C atoms, so its name is cyclo propane.
  • We numbering the atoms of the ring that give the ethyl substituent the low no. (1) and then methyl group take no. (2).
  • Thus, the name of the compound is 1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.
