Answer:

Lewis structure for isomers of butane has been given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Butane is a saturated alkane with molecular formula
C_(4)H_(10). Due to different positing of methyl groups, positional isomerism exists in butane.

Butane has two positional isomers with same molecular formula. One is n-butane and another one is isobutane. Lewis structures of these two isomers have been given below.
