Question
How would you name the following compound?

$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \text{H}-\text{C}=\text{O}$

✓

Answer

The name of the compound is methanal, as the structure contains one carbon atom and an aldehyde group (-CHO), which is indicated by using 'al' as the suffix. Hence, replacing the last letter 'e' of methane with 'al' we get the name methanal.
