Both have the molecular formula C5H12 , but they differ in the covalent
arrangement of their carbon skeletons . The skeleton is straight in one form of
pentane but branched in the other . We will examine three types of isomers :

Each of the carbons has an H and an X attached to it , but one isomer has a'cis
arrangement , with two Xs on the same side relative to the double bond , and the
other isomer has a “ trans ' arrangement , with the Xs on opposite sides .
