Short answer

Isomers followed as:

Step-by-step solution

Isomers

Isomers are molecules with identical molecular formulas but differ in the arrangements of atoms in space.

When molecules have a similar molecular formula and have different atoms in space the phenomenon is termed isomerization.

Isomer of C5H12O  

Isomers of are ${\mathrm{C}}_5{\mathrm{H}}_{12}\mathrm{O}$given below as u see are the compound have same molecular formula the only difference is in their structure that is by changing the position of the hydroxy group and by branching the carbon chain as shown:
