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-

  1. n-butyl.
  2. isobutyl.
  3. sec butyl.
  4. t-butyl.

Thus, 4 aldehyde isomers are possoble for the compound having tge molecular formula C5H10O.
