There are three isomers: $n-pentane$ $"n-pentane"$ ; $isobutane$ $"isobutane"$ ; and $neopentane$ $"neopentane"$ .

$n-pentane$ $"n-pentane"$ $H_{3} C - C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$ $H_3C-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$

$isobutane$ $"isobutane"$ $H_{3} C - C H (C H_{3}) C H_{2} C H_{3}$ $H_3C-CH(CH_3)CH_2CH_3$

$neopentane$ $"neopentane"$ ${(H_{3} C)}_{4} C$ $(H_3C)_4C$
