the compound is CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂
when naming the compound the C chain has 3 C atoms and they all are in a single chain therefore alkane chain is propane.
It has a -NH₂ group attached to the C therefore functional group is 'amine'
-NH₂ is attached to a terminal C atom therefore when numbering the C atoms the C attached to the substituent should have the lowest number therefore C atom with NH₂ is carbon atom 1
therefore name of the compound is 1-propanamine
