Solution

Isomers:
“Isomers are two or more compounds that have the same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms.”
As the structures of isomers differ, thus the physical/chemical properties also differ.
The six possible alkenes i.e. chain/position and geometrical isomers for $C_{5} H_{10}$ are:
Pent-1-ene
(E)Pent-2-ene
(Z)Pent-2-ene
2-Methylbut-1-ene
3-Methylbut-1-ene
2-Methylbut-2-ene
The possible cycloalkanes are shown below:
