Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Isomers

Isomers are molecules with identical molecular formulas but differ in the arrangements of atoms in space.

When molecules have a similar molecular formula and have different atoms in space, the phenomenon is termed isomerization.

02

Isomer of C5H12O

Isomers of C5H12Oare given below. The compound has the same molecular formula. The only difference is in their structure, that is, by changing the position of the hydroxy group and branching the carbon chain as shown:
