Give the IUPAC name for the following ketone and aldehyde?

For part (a) I got 2-pentanone

For part (b) I got 1-butal

Can someone spot-check this for me?

I'm not confident that these are correct.

Thanks guys :-)

    First is correct

    For the second you do not call an aldehyde 1- someting as you have done.

    The =O group in an aldehyde can only be on a terminal C - therefore it is not necessary to specify this

    Answer: butanal.
