As you increase the number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon, the number of isomers quickly increases. For example, heptane, with seven carbon atoms, has nine isomers; and dodecane, with twelve carbon atoms, has 355 isomers. Some hydrocarbons with many more carbon atoms have billions of isomers!

Thankyou for the help but the question is based on increase in carbon compounds due to isomerism
if it would be why isomers increase with increase in carbon compounds then your answer would be valid

Hello guys,
Your answer:
Isomers are compounds with similar formula but different internal structure , as isomers have different internal structure there can be more number of compounds formed with the similar compound and different internal structure.
If you feel the answer is helpful please thank me.
