First of all look and the number of carbons . In this case it is '8' , so it is 'Oct'.

Any one carbon in this molecule can make four single bonds with adjacent carbons and hydrogens , so the suffix is '-ane'.

Hence the full name is 'Octane'.

Its functional group is an ALKANE , commercially it is an hydrocarbon.
