C5H12 has 3 structural isomers C6H14 has 5 structural isomers C7H16 has 9 structural isomers. I get what a structural isomer is, but when I see a statement like the 3 statements above, I wonder if there is a way I can figure out how many structural isomers something has?  I'm in CHEM 2.  We didnt talk about that but when I see a slide he has telling me this, and I am wondering what to take from the slide...hmmm.
