Answer:

2-pentanone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the given compound and, in agreement with the octet rule, it is possible to realize that the CO is actually C=O as shown below:

CH3 - C - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

||

O

Thus, since the C=O stands for the carbonyl group within the parent chain, we infer this is a ketone and more specifically 2-pentanone as it has five carbon atoms.

Regards!
