For the molecular formula C5H12, there are three constitutional isomers. They are:1. n-Pentane: a straight-chain alkane with all five carbon atoms connected in a row.   CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH32. Isopentane  also called methylbutane : a branched-chain alkane with a methyl group  CH3  attached to the second carbon atom of a butane molecule.   CH3-CH CH3 -CH2-CH33. Neopentane  also called dimethylpropane : a branched-chain alkane with two methyl groups  CH3  attached to the central carbon atom of a propane molecule.   CH3-C CH3 2-CH3
