Answer:
1. Isomerism is a property of organic compounds.
2. It is defined as the compounds with the same chemical formula but have varying structures.
The Isomers:
1. There are only 2 isomers for Butane (or) n-Butane
a. There is normal Butane.
b. There is also an isomer called 2-Methylpropane
They both have the same chemical formula (C4H10), but have different structures as their names are different.

a. There is normal Pentane (or) n-Pentane
b. There is 1-Methylbutane
