The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K.
It has to do with there structures.

their molar mass is identical.

Both of these compounds are alkanes with four carbon atoms and both of these compounds have the molecular formula C4H10. These are structural isomers of each other.
Starting with C4H10, hydrocarbons can have multiple configurations, called isomers, for the same formula. These isomers are regarded as different compounds and have different physical and chemical properties. In such cases simply using the chemical formula would be ambiguous.
The alcohols having the formula C4H10O are four 1-butanol , 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol.
No, only alkanes C4H10 and larger have isomers
Three organic compounds have this chemical formula.

Yes, if you can make two structural isomers for the saturate alkane C4H10 it does mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns.

C4H10 is the simplest alkane formula C2H4 is the simplest alkene formula
Butane C4H10 has 2 isomersbutane C-C-C-C (n-butane)2-methyl propane CH3)2-CH-CH3 (isobutane)
n-butane CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 and isobutane CH3-CH(CH3)-CH3
No, because the second formula contains an oxygen atom and the first formula does not. Structural isomers must have the same numbers of all types of atoms.
Three organic compounds have this chemical formula.
Butane is homogeneous. Butane may mean n-butane, iso-butane or a mixture of the two isomers. If the sample were a mixture of the two isomers then it would be a homgeneous mixture.
