Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Propanal
As it contains three carbon atoms, so the word root will be "prop". Because of the presence of functional group aldehyde, we will use "al" as a secondary suffix. As the "al" begins with the vowel "a", we will drop down the "e" from "Propane" and replace with "al". Therefore, the naming for CH3−CH2−CHO is "Propanal".
