Give IUPAC Nomenclature for both compounds. 

The image contains two structural diagrams of chemical compounds labeled (a) and (b).

**(a)**: The diagram represents a molecule consisting of a carbon chain with a branching point. The structure can be described as:
- A linear chain of four carbon atoms.
- A methyl group (CH₃) attached to the second carbon.
- An aldehyde group (–CHO) at the end of the carbon chain.
  
This compound is likely an aldehyde due to the presence of the –CHO group.

**(b)**: This diagram illustrates another organic compound:
- A linear chain of three carbon atoms.
- A carboxylic acid group (COOH) at the end of the chain.
  
This structure indicates a carboxylic acid due to the presence of the COOH group, which includes a double-bonded oxygen (O) and a hydroxyl group (OH).

Both diagrams depict the spatial arrangement of atoms in the compounds using lines for bonds between them.
