Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Isomerism is the existence of two or more compounds having same molecular formula but different structures.
It is not possible for them to have different structures/only one structure is possible for each of them.
Structures: `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)," "CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)"CH"-CH_(3)`
