Explanation

Eight isomers are :
`(i) CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH(1^@)`
(ii) `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)-CHOH - CH_(3)(2^@)`
(iii) `CH_(3)CH_(2)-CHOH-CH_(2)CH_(3)(3^@)`
(iv) `CH_(3)CH_(2)-overset(CH_3)overset(|)CH-CH_(2)OH(1^@)`
(v) `CH_(3)-overset(CH_3)overset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)CH_(2)OH(1^@)`
(vi) `CH_(3)-overset(CH_3)overset(|)underset(OH)underset(|)C-CH_(2)CH_(3) (3^@)`
(vii) `CH_(3)-overset(CH_3)overset(|)underset(CH_3)underset(|)C-CH_(2)Oh(1^@)`
(viii) `CH_(3)-overset(CH_3)overset(|)CH-CH_(3)(2^@)`
