The name of the hydrocarbon CH3CH2CH2CH2F is 1-fluorobutane.
In naming organic hydrocarbons, we count the number of the parent chain family. Here, we have an alkane with 4 carbons, which means that the parent chain is a family of alkane. The fourth compound in the family of an alkane is butane.
Afterwards, we will determine if there is any substituent attached to any of the carbon atoms in the chain and rank them in a way such that we have the lowest possible number.
Here, the fluorine is attached to the first carbon atom. So, it becomes 1-fluorobutane.
