There are two structural isomers of C3H9N, which is also known as propylamine. These isomers are:

N-Propylamine: In this isomer, the nitrogen atom is bonded to one of the carbon atoms at the end of the carbon chain. The molecular structure can be represented as CH3CH2CH2NH2.

Isopropylamine: In this isomer, the nitrogen atom is bonded to one of the carbon atoms in the middle of the carbon chain. The molecular structure can be represented as CH3CH(NH2)CH3.

These two isomers have different structural arrangements and are distinct molecules.
