Answer:

A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.

Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
