Solution

IUPAC names is written as prefix + word root + 1°suffix + 2°suffix

prefix tells about the substituents attached to chain

word root tells about the no. of C atoms in chain

1°suffix tells about the C-C boinding

2°suffix tells about functional group.

in this compound,there are 5 C atoms in chain and no substituents present.

one OH group is present at C-2(numbering from right to left)

word root=pent(5 C atoms)

1°suffix= ane (all bonds are single)

2° suffix is ol (due to OH group)

so the name is ---. Pentan-2-ol

the e of ane is dropped because of vowel alphabet of ol.

ans is Pentan-2-ol
