There are three structural isomers possible for the molecular formula C5H12. They are:1. n-Pentane:Structure: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3Name: n-Pentane  normal pentane 2. Isopentane  2-methylbutane :Structure:  CH3 2CH-CH2-CH3Name: Isopentane  2-methylbutane 3. Neopentane  2,2-dimethylpropane :Structure:  CH3 3C-CH3Name: Neopentane  2,2-dimethylpropane These three isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
