Isomerism is a phenomenon where compounds have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Propane (C3H8) consists of three carbon atoms bonded in a straight chain with eight hydrogen atoms attached. Since there are no other possible ways to arrange the carbon atoms, propane does not exhibit isomerism.
