The no. of structurual isomers would be 5.
THose are:
1- pentene => No. of sterioisomers = 01 {1 stereo centers}
Pent – 2 – ene => No. of sterioisomers = 2^1 = > 2
2-methyl-but-1-ene = > no. of sterioisomers = 1
3-methyl-1-butene => no. of sterioisomers = 1
2-methyl-2-butene = > no. of sterioisomers = 1
