The given compound is cyclobutane. Isomers are the compounds having the same molecular formula but different physical and chemical properties. The molecular formula of cyclobutane is C4H8. Now, let's see the molecular formula of the compounds given in the option.

  • The molecular formula of butane is C4H10
  • The molecular formula of butene is C4H8
  • The molecular formula of butyne is C4H6
  • The molecular formula of cyclobutene is C4H6

The molecular formula of cyclobutane and butene is same i.e. both have the molecular formula C4H8. Therefore, butene is an isomer of cyclobutane.
