Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Structural isomers are compounds with same molecular formula and with different structures but same number of carbon atoms in the parent chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Q. Compounds with identical molecular formula but different structures are called structural isomers.

Detailed explanation-3: -A structural isomer, also known as a constitutional isomer, is one in which two or more organic compounds have the same molecular formulas but different structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures are called isomers. Remember isomerism is a property between a pair (or more) of molecules, i.e.
