Answer

Constitutional isomers

Work Step by Step

Constitutional isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and different connectivity. To determine whether two molecules are constitutional isomers, just count the number of each atom in both molecules and see how the atoms are arranged. In this example, the molecular formula of both the compounds is $C_4H_{10}$. However, the way $CH_3$ are attached is different.
