As it is an aldehyde thus, CHO must be there. I am interested with the othe part of the molecule. So CHO is eliminated from the formula. Now, I get C4H9 group. i.e., butyl group. It can have 4 isoners-
n-butyl.
isobutyl.
sec butyl.
t-butyl.
Thus, 4 aldehyde isomers are possoble for the compound having tge molecular formula C5H10O.
