What is the name of the compound with the formula CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3, and what is the name of its functional group?

The compound's name is butan-2-ol: four carbons in the chain means the compound has the but- prefix; the alcohol group is on the second carbon, so the compound has the -2- suffix; and the functional group is an alcohol group, so the compound has the -ol suffix.
