I count six isomers.
Explanation:
First, chlorinate all positions on the ethyl group.
This gives you two isomers.
They are
- (2-chloroethyl)cyclohexane
- (1-chloroethyl)cyclohexane.
Next, chlorinate all positions on the cyclohexane ring.
This gives you four more isomers.
They are
- 1-ethylchlorocyclohexane
- 2-ethylchlorocyclohexane
- 3-ethylchlorocyclohexane
- 4-ethylchlorocyclohexane
