Pentane with molecular formula C5H12, exists in three isomeric forms. One shows linear carbon chains, another has one -CH3 groups present on the third carbon atom, and the third has two -CH3 groups present on the second carbon atom. What types of isomers are these?

Geometric isomers

Structural isomers

Halotropic isomers

What do you think it should be?

I'm really not sure, I'm really stuck on this. Biology isn't such a good subject for me, science in general isn't a good subject for me.

Well, first of all this is chemistry so you should post these types of questions in chemistry section from next time.

Now, let's see what the questions says. It basically says that these are two isomers which same molecular formula but different structural formula. Now what kind of isomers have same molecular formula but different structural formula?

You can find out this if you use google or any other textbook to simply search the terms given in the options.

Oh oops. My bad I'm sorry lol. I'm taking a biology course, it's from there.
