Isomers for methanol.......I can think of none.

Isomers for 1-propanol, would be 2- propanol, and methyl-ethyl ether. 2 isomers

1-pentanol will have 2- and 3- pentanol, as well as the ethers methyl butyl, ethyl-propyl, as well as the variations on the butyl (sec-butyl, tert-butyl, iso-butyl) and variations on the propyl (iso propyl and ...
