Solution

Isomerism is the phenomenon in which more than one compounds have the same chemical formula but different chemical structures.

Isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Chemical compounds that have identical chemical formulae but differ in properties and the arrangement of atoms in the molecule are called isomers. Therefore, the compounds that exhibit isomerism are known as isomers.

Butane has two isomers such as n-Butane and Isobutane.
