Solution

$C_{4} H_{10}$
This molecular formula corresponds to alkane $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$
$C_{4} H_{2 \times 4 + 2} = C_{4} H_{10}$
$C_{4} H_{10}$ has $2$ structural isomers.
$H$ $H$ $H$ $H$
1) $H - | C | - | C | - | C | - | C | - H$ (n-butane)
$H$ $H$ $H$ $H$
2) $C H_{3} - C H | - C H_{3}$ (iso-butane or $2$ -methyl propane)
$C H_{3}$
