Structural isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements of atoms. For C5H12O, which represents compounds with 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 1 oxygen atom, there are several structural isomers. Here are some of them:

Pentanol (n-pentanol or 1-pentanol):
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH

Isopentanol (2-pentanol):
CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2OH

Neopentanol (2,2-dimethylpropanol):
(CH3)3COH

Tert-pentanol (2-methylbutan-2-ol):
CH3CH(CH3)CH(OH)CH3

2-Methylbutan-1-ol (isobutyl alcohol):
CH3CH2CH(CH3)OH

These are some of the structural isomers of C5H12O, but there can be additional isomers if you consider different arrangements of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.
