No, neither methanon nor ethanon exist. The simplest alkanon is propanon CH3-C(=O)-CH3.

H2C(=O) is methanal and H3C-CH(=O) is ethanal

There is no such molecule known (in English) as "methanone". Methanone could be an incorrect reference to any of these three molecules: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, or acetone.
