Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has a ketone group (C=O) attached to a phenyl (benzene) ring with an ethyl group (CH2CH3) in position 2. The name of this compound follows the pattern "substituent-phenyl-ketone". Therefore, the correct name is 2-ethylacetophenone. Choice A (2-ethylbenzenone) is incorrect because it does not have a ketone group. Choice C (2-ethylacetobenzone) is incorrect because "-benzone" is not a suffix used for this type of compound. Choice D (2-ethylphenone) is incorrect because it lacks the phenyl group.
