Since the isomers of pentane have different boiling points, they can be separated by techniques such as fractional distillation.
Pentane has three isomers: n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. In the case of pentane, these isomers differ in the way the carbon atoms are connected to each other.
Pentane
Three: pentane, 2-methylbutane (isopentane), and 2,2-dimethylpropane (neopentane).
All pentane isomers have always 5 carbon atoms. Besides that, there are 12 hydrogens: C5H12, except cyclopentane (C5H10).
Methane, ethane and propane don't have isomers (confirmers are possible) , butanes are two n-butane and iso-butane, pentanes are three n-pentane, iso-pentane and neo-pentane.

There are 3 isomers of C5H12[pentane] They are 1st- N pentane, 2nd- Isopentane/Dimethylbutane, and 3rd Neopentane/Dimethylpropane

Two structural isomers of C5H12 are pentane and isopentane. Pentane has a straight chain of 5 carbon atoms, while isopentane has a branched structure with a methyl group attached to the second carbon atom.
There are (in total) 8 structural isomers of C5H11Br, from the 3 different 'pentanyl' hydrocarbon (-C5H11) isomers (n-pentane, iso-pentane and neo-pentane):3x in n-pentane: 1-, or 2-, or 3-Bromo-pentane4x in isopentane: 1-, or 2-, or 3-, or 4-Bromo-Methyl-butane1x in neopentane: 1-Bromo-diMethyl-propane
There are at least 5 CH3OCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 methoxy pentane CH3CH2OCH2CH2CH2CH3 ethoxy butane CH3CH2CH2OCH2CH2CH3 propoxy propane CH3CH(CH3)O(CH3)CHCH3 diisopropyl ether CH3CH2CH2O(CH3)CHCH3 propyl isopropyl ether + CH3OCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 methoxy pentane with isomers of the pentane chain CH3CH2OCH2CH2CH2CH3 ethoxy butane with isomers of the butane chain
boiling points due to differences in their molecular structures, resulting in variations in intermolecular forces. Normal pentane has the highest boiling point due to stronger London dispersion forces between its straight chain molecules. Isopentane has a lower boiling point due to the branching in its structure, while neopentane has the lowest boiling point due to its highly branched and compact structure.
The formula C5H12 corresponds to pentane, which has three structural isomers: n-pentane, isopentane (methylbutane), and neopentane (dimethylpropane). Each of these structures has a unique arrangement of carbon atoms, resulting in different chemical properties. Therefore, there are three distinct structural isomers for C5H12.
They are metamers but not position isomers
