The four-carbon chain is numbered to give the $-\text{NO}_2$ group the lowest locant, fixing the name as 2-nitrobutane. The nitro-bearing carbon (C2) is bonded to two other carbons (C1 and C3), so by definition it is a secondary carbon, making this a secondary nitroalkane -- classified exactly as a hal …
