The 2 alkane structural carbon chain isomers of molecular formula C4H10 (Mr = 58)

Examples of carbon chain isomerism

(1) isomers of C4H10 structural formula skeletal formula alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b or isomers of C4H10 structural formula butane alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b are abbreviated structural formulae for butane

 The skeletal formula is isomers of C4H10 structural formula butane skeletal formula alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b , full displayed formula (ignoring bond angles!) is  isomers of C4H10 carbon chain structural isomerism displayed formula butane molecular structure and naming of alkanes nomenclature

(2) isomers of C4H10 structural formula skeletal formula alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b or isomers of C4H10 structural formula displayed formula methylpropane 2-methylpropane alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b are the abbreviated structural formula for methylpropane

and the skeletal formula is methylpropane 2-methylpropane skeletal formula alkanes molecular structure naming (c) doc b

This is the first instant of the existence of structural isomers, (carbon chain isomers), for an alkane molecular formula with different carbon chain arrangements, this is NOT possible with methane, ethane or propane.
