ANSWER

1-Butyne

Explanation:

To name the below structure, we need to consider the following

0. The number of carbon atoms present in the structure

,

1. The type of bond and the location

According to the structure given, we have four carbon atoms

These four carbon atoms mean Butane according to the alkane family

We have a tripple bond in between the first and second carbon atom

Since we have a tripple bond, the -ane in butane will be changed to -yne

Hence, the name of the structure is 1-Butyne
