Answer:

Ethanal or acetaldehyde

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethanal, also called acetaldehyde is the second member of the alkanal or aldehyde group of hydrocarbons, which have a functional group of -CHO. The -CHO functional group characterizes every member to this group and makes them behave chemically similar.

However, the second member of this aldehyde group with a formula of CH3----CHO, has a methyl group (CH3) attached to the functional group, hence, it is called ETHANAL OR ACETALDEHYDE.
