$How else but by trial and error.......??$ $"How else but by trial and error.......??"$

Explanation:

$Butane can support 2 structural isomers.$ $"Butane can support 2 structural isomers."$

$Pentane$ $"Pentane"$ can support 3 structural isomers.

$Hexane$ $"Hexane"$ can support 5 structural isomers.

$Heptane$ $"Heptane"$ can support 9 structural isomers.

Even as an undergraduate, you would not be expected to know and represent all the structural isomers of hexane. You would be expected to be able to name a given isomer, and so differentiate between identical structures and isomers of a given formula.
