Answer:

Methylamine

Step-by-step explanation:

First count how many carbons there are (there's one). This will give the prefix meth-

Next we can see that this is in the organic functional group amine, as it has a nitrogen at the end with no oxygens. This will give it the suffix -amine.

Now we can give this compound a name:

Methylamine

(the yl is a suffix to make the meth- prefix complete)
