Detailed Solution

Explanation:

The correct IUPAC name of H2NCHO is Methanamide.

Reasoning:

  • H2NCHO is a simple amide functional group where the -NH2 group is attached to a carbonyl group (-C=O).
  • According to IUPAC nomenclature, amides are named by replacing the "-oic acid" or "-ic acid" of the parent carboxylic acid with "-amide".
  • The parent structure here is methanoic acid (formic acid). Replacing the "-oic acid" suffix with "-amide" gives Methanamide.

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

  • Amino formaldehyde: Incorrect because it suggests the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and an aldehyde (-CHO), which is not the case here.
  • Aminomethanal: Incorrect because it refers to an aldehyde (methanal) with an amino group, not an amide.
  • Formamide: While Formamide is the common name for H2NCHO, it is not the IUPAC name.

The correct answer is Methanamide.
