Answer:
The stability order for the isomers of alkane :
neo pentane > isopentane > n-pentane
Explanation:
Branched alkanes are much more stable than straight chain alkanes.
Branching means that the electronic structure is simply more compact and this decreases molecular surface area per atom and so leads to a lowering of energy and increases in stability.
Hope this helps !!
