There are numerous possible constitutional isomers of bromopentane. Specifically, the bromine atom can be attached to any of the carbon atoms (although there are only three unique possibilities because the 2 end carbons are identical). So you could have:
Then you can also have different connectivity between the carbon atoms. So pentane can either be normal pentane (5 carbons in a row), or it can be a branched structure. There are two possible branched structures for pentane: 2-methylbutane ("isopentane") and 2,2-dimethylpropane ("neopentane").
For 2-methylbutane the possibilities are:
Finally, there's only one possibility for 2,2-dimethylpropane, since the four methyl groups are equivalent and the central carbon is already bonded to four other things:

3 different isomers exist.

only two structural isomers are possible, 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane
There are numerous possible constitutional isomers of bromopentane. Specifically, the bromine atom can be attached to any of the carbon atoms (although there are only three unique possibilities because the 2 end carbons are identical). So you could have:1-bromopentane (same molecule as 5-bromopentane, but lower number is used)2-bromopentane (same molecule as 4-bromopentane, but lower number is used)3-bromopentaneThen you can also have different connectivity between the carbon atoms. So pentane can either be normal pentane (5 carbons in a row), or it can be a branched structure. There are two possible branched structures for pentane: 2-methylbutane ("isopentane") and 2,2-dimethylpropane ("neopentane").For 2-methylbutane the possibilities are:1-bromo-2-methylbutane2-bromo-2-methylbutane2-bromo-3-methylbutane (bromine takes precedence and gets the lower number)1-bromo-3-methylbutaneFinally, there's only one possibility for 2,2-dimethylpropane, since the four methyl groups are equivalent and the central carbon is already bonded to four other things:1-bromo-2,2-dimethylpropane
Pentane has three different monobromo derivatives possible. These are: 1-bromopentane, 2-bromopentane, and 3-bromopentane. The reason there are only three derivatives is because of resonance.

3 different isomers exist.
Write four isomers that share the formula of C5H10.
Three other positional isomers are possible,, 1,2 - 1,3 and 1,4 bromochloro isomers.
It has no other isomers, only one structure is possible, H-N=N-H
