In 'Ch3ch2ch2cooh​' there are 4 carbons.

That means the name of the compound will start with But

There is also a COOH, which means that the compound is a carboxylic acid. So the compound will end in anoic acid.

Add these two together and you get: Butanoic acid

(But + anoic acid = Butanoic acid)
