Answer:

The answer is 2-butyne.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In the attached molecule we see that it has 4 carbons by what is called butane. At the same time we see that it has a triple bond for what belongs to the group of alkynes.

In this case the name is butino (with the ending -ino indicating that it is an alkyne.)

In this case the name is 2-butino because the triple bond is located in the second carbon.

We conclude that the answer is 2-butyne.
