Structural isomers of C6H14

2-dimethylbutane.However, why are 1-methylpentane or 1,2-dimethylbutane not isomers?-Because if you add a methyl group at carbon atom 1 you are actually extending the chain so 1- methylpentane is the same as hexane.Similarly 1,......

I know that the structural isomers of C6H14 are hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, , 2,3-dimethylbutane and 2,2-dimethylbutane.

However, why are 1-methylpentane or 1,2-dimethylbutane not isomers?

Because if you add a methyl group at carbon atom 1 you are actually extending the chain so 1- methylpentane is the same as hexane.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2-CH3

Similarly 1,2-dimethylbutane is 3-methylpentane
