H3C -- C -- CH2-- CH2-- CH2-- CH2-- CH2--CH3

CH2 -- CH3
Observe the longest chain. Then start counting from the branching side.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
H3C -- C -- CH2-- CH2-- CH2-- CH2-- CH2--CH3

CH2 -- CH3
So there are 8 carbons in the long chain means Octane.
Now, there is a ethyl group at 2nd carbon.
So, it is 2-ethylocatane
2-ethylocatane
