Yes, there is.
... oh, you wanted to know what it was? I've linked to a paper about it. Hope you read German!
(Actually, there's some pseudocode in the article that's pretty easy to follow even if you don't know a lick of German.)
To have over 62 trillion isomers, the alkane chain would need to have at least 19 carbon atoms. This is because each additional carbon atom would introduce a new branching possibility, leading to an exponential increase in the number of isomers.
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
Yes, creating two different structural isomers for C4H10 implies that you can connect the four carbon atoms in distinct arrangements. This is because structural isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms.
Hexane is an alkane of six carbon atoms. There ar five different isomers with that particular structure.
Because the longest carbon chain in the molecule is three carbons long, there are only two possible structural isomers for C3H7Cl: 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane. The different positions of the chlorine atom on the carbon chain result in these two distinct isomers.

Over 4000 (the exact number is 4347). You'll excuse me for not listing them.
At least 22 if you include cyclic compounds (cyclopentane, cyclobutane and cyclopropane) norborane, etc.
3-methylhexane
To draw isomers of C7H14, you can start with heptane, which is a straight-chain alkane with 7 carbon atoms. To generate isomers, you can create branched chains by moving the carbon-carbon bonds around, resulting in different structures such as 2-methylhexane or 3-methylhexane. You can also create cycloalkanes such as cycloheptane, which have the same molecular formula but different structures.
The shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism is butane (C4H10). Butane can exhibit two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, which differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.
In an alkane the number of hydrogen atoms is two greater than twice the number of carbon atoms. If we reverse this rule, we find that the number of carbon atoms is one less than half the number of hydrogen atoms. 32/2=16 16-1=15 So our alkane would have 15 carbon atoms. This alkane would be pentadecane or one of its isomers.

Hexane is an alkane of six carbon atoms. There ar five different isomers with that particular structure.
There are 5 different carbon backbone structures including benzine that are possible isomers of C6H12O. Of these 5, the benzine ring can only form -OH compounds with the formula C6H12O so there is only one benzine isomer. The linear carbon chain can form 3 different isomers with a double bonded oxygen; an aldehyde and 2 ketones (on the first, second, or third carbon). It can also form 15 different alkene isomers with an -OH functional group (hyrdoxyl) in different positions on the chain and a double bond on the first, second or third carbon in the chain. This gives 18 total possible isomers of C6H12O with the linear 6 carbon chain. There are two variation with a five carbon chain and a methyl group on the second and the third carbon in the chain. There is a 4 carbon chain variation with an ethyl on the second carbon in the chain. Both the five and four carbon chain variations can make different isomers with a double bonded oxygen in various locations and alkene variations with a double bond in the carbon chain and an -OH functional group (hyrdoxyl) in different positions on the chains. Over all there are over 60 different isomers of C6H12O that are possible.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
