These terms and structures are rather garbled. It is bromomethane, not bromomenthane. Ethane is C2H6, i.e. H3C-CH3. And n-Butane is C4H10, i.e. H5C2-C2H5.

The mechanism is explained here, in the good old libretexts that I have recommended to you before: https://chem.libretexts.org/Workbench/Chemistry_LHS_Bridge/12%3A_Alkanes/12.03%3A_Synthesis_of_Alkanes/12.3.03%3A_Wurtz_reaction
