With the molecular formula C5H12 there are three isomers possible. With all the five carbon atoms are lined in a linear fashion this isomer called n-pentane. IUPAC name is pentane. When a methyl group is shifts and attachés to the second or the third carbon atom it forms iso-pentane. And IUPAC name is 2-methyl butane. Observe the neo pentane there are two methyl groups one above and one low attached the second carbon atom. This compound name is 2,2-dimethyl propane in the IUPAC nomenclature.
