It looks like you've uploaded a naming worksheet for organic chemistry, where the task is to:

1. Name each organic compound shown in the structures.
2. Circle the functional group, if present.

Let's go through each structure one by one, correcting any errors, and identifying or verifying the correct names and functional groups.

🔹 Row 1:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
H H H
| | |
H–C–C–C–CH₃
| | |
H H H
```

- This is a 4-carbon chain with no functional group → Butane
- But the name given is "Propanol", which is incorrect.
- Correct name: Butane

#### Right:
Structure:
```
CH₃–CH₂–CH(OH)–CH₃
```
- OH group on carbon 2 → 2-butanol
- Name given: 2-butanol Correct
- Functional group: OH (alcohol) → Circle the –OH

---

🔹 Row 2:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
H H O
| | ||
H–C–C–C–O–H
| | |
H H H
```
- Carboxylic acid group (–COOH)
- Chain: 3 carbons → Propanoic acid
- Given name: Propionic Acid Correct (common name)
- Functional group: –COOH (carboxylic acid) → Circle it

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H–C–C–C–C–C–H
| | | | | |
H H H H H H
```
- 5-carbon straight chain alkane → Pentane
- Given name: Pentane Correct
- No functional group

---

🔹 Row 3:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
H–C=C–C–C–H
| | | |
H H H H
```
- Double bond between C2 and C3 → 2-pentene
- But the name given is 2-butene Incorrect
- Chain has 5 carbons → should be 2-pentene
- Functional group: C=C (alkene) → Circle the double bond

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H H H
| | |
H–C–C–C–CH₃
| | |
H H H
```
- 4-carbon chain → Butane
- Given name: Butanal Incorrect
- Butanal would have an aldehyde group (–CHO), but this is just butane.
- Correct name: Butane

---

🔹 Row 4:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
H O
| ||
H–C–C–O–H
| |
H H
```
- 2-carbon chain with –COOH → Ethanoic acid
- Given name: Ethanoic Acid Correct
- Functional group: –COOH → Circle it

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H–C–C–C–C≡C–H
| | | | |
H H H H H
```
- 5-carbon chain with triple bond at C1 → 1-pentyne
- Given name: 1-pentyne Correct
- Functional group: C≡C (alkyne) → Circle the triple bond

---

🔹 Row 5:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
CH₃–CH₂–CH₂–C(=O)–CH₃
```
- 5-carbon chain, ketone at C2 → 2-pentanone
- Given name: 2-pentanone Correct
- Functional group: C=O (ketone) → Circle the carbonyl

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H–C–C–C–C–C(=O)–OH
| | | | | |
H H H H H H
```
- 6-carbon chain with –COOH at end → Pentanoic acid? Wait — 6 carbons → Hexanoic acid
- But the name says Pentanoic acid Incorrect
- The chain is 6 carbons long → Hexanoic acid
- Functional group: –COOH → Circle it

---

🔹 Row 6:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
CH₃–CH₂–CH₂–CH₂–C≡C–CH₃
```
- 7-carbon chain, triple bond at C2 → 2-heptyne
- But named as 2-hexyne Incorrect
- Hexyne = 6 carbons; this is 7 → 2-heptyne
- Functional group: C≡C → Circle triple bond

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H H
| |
H–C–C–C–H
| |
H H
```
- 3-carbon chain, no functional group → Propane
- Given name: Propane Correct
- No functional group

---

🔹 Row 7:


#### Left:
Structure:
```
H
|
H–C–O–H
|
H
```
- CH₃OH → Methanol
- Given name: Methanol Correct
- Functional group: –OH (alcohol) → Circle it

#### Right:
Structure:
```
H–C–C–C–C–C(=O)–OH
| | | | | |
H H H H H H
```
- 6-carbon chain with –COOH → Hexanoic acid
- Named: Butanoic acid Incorrect
- Butanoic acid = 4 carbons; this is 6 → Hexanoic acid
- Functional group: –COOH → Circle it

Summary of Corrections:



| Structure | Given Name | Correct Name | Functional Group |
|---------|------------|--------------|------------------|
| 1L | Propanol | Butane | None |
| 1R | 2-butanol | Correct | –OH |
| 2L | Propionic Acid | Correct | –COOH |
| 2R | Pentane | Correct | None |
| 3L | 2-butene | 2-pentene | C=C |
| 3R | Butanal | Butane | None |
| 4L | Ethanoic Acid | Correct | –COOH |
| 4R | 1-pentyne | Correct | C≡C |
| 5L | 2-pentanone | Correct | C=O |
| 5R | Pentanoic acid | Hexanoic acid | –COOH |
| 6L | 2-hexyne | 2-heptyne | C≡C |
| 6R | Propane | Correct | None |
| 7L | Methanol | Correct | –OH |

Final Answer:


You should correct the following names and circle the functional groups as follows:

- Butane (not Propanol) — no FG
- 2-butanol — circle –OH
- Propanoic acid — circle –COOH
- Pentane — no FG
- 2-pentene — circle C=C
- Butane — no FG
- Ethanoic acid — circle –COOH
- 1-pentyne — circle C≡C
- 2-pentanone — circle C=O
- Hexanoic acid — circle –COOH
- 2-heptyne — circle C≡C
