Answer:

The answer to your question is butanal

Step-by-step explanation:

To name this compound we must consider:

1.- Identify the functional group. The functional group of this molecule is the first carbon to the right and its oxygen.

When carbon is attached to oxygen is a border, this functional group is called Aldehyde.

2.- Count the total number of carbons starting from the right. This molecule has 4 carbons.

3.- Name the compound

An organic molecule with 4 carbons is called butane but change the ending for al, then the name will be butanal
