The following structure was given, and I have to name the compound.
My guess is that the compound is called 3-bromo phenyl chloro ketone, but I am not sure.
Can you tell me if my answer is correct, and also tell me how to tackle the IUPAC naming for this compound?

Thank you!

This is not a ketone. The R and R' substituents of a ketone (image attached) are carbon-containing groups. This is an acyl chloride (aka. acid chloride) hence the -yl suffix.
