Explanation: The molecular formula \(\mathrm{C_4H_{10}}\) (butane) has exactly two structural (constitutional) isomers:

  • n-butane: \(\mathrm{CH_3–CH_2–CH_2–CH_3}\)
  • isobutane (2-methylpropane): \(\mathrm{(CH_3)_3CH}\)

There are no geometric or optical isomers (no C=C bond and no chiral center).
