What is h3c ch2 ch2 ch2 ch2 ch2 ch2 ch2 ch3?

The given collection of symbols is one way of writing the formula of a straight-chain hydrocarbon with 9 carbon atoms, which has the name "nonane". More conventionally: all the letters in the formula should be capitalized, since they represent the chemical elements hydrogen and carbon; the numbers should all be subscripts instead of being on the same base as the letters; and there should be a hyphen, representing a chemical bond, between each two groupings written without spaces, where there is now simply a space. The formula can also be written more compactly as H3C(CH2)7CH3.
