Explanation:

Ketone -

The ketone functional group can written as the carbonly group with carbon chain on both sides .

According to IUPAC nomenclature , the carbon chain on the left side is written first followed by the right side carbon chain and then adding the suffix  ketone .

5 carbon chain = pentyl

2 carbon chain = ethyl
