Manish Shankar ·

number can be left when not required

as ethanoic acid, propanal

propan-2-one can be written as propanone as only one ketone possible with 3 carbon atoms

same is the case with butanone

no propanone and propan-2-one are same

and the numbering comes only when other possible locations are there

in propanone the one signifies a ketone

so it has to take that pos only no other alternative so structure is uniquely determinable wen u say propanone itself

while for butanone there are 2 positions (2 and 3 ) but are equivalent only wen reversed left to write

so here also u neednt say butan2one explicitly
