Hydrocarbons — practice question

This question concerns molecules whose molecular formula is $\text{C}_4\text{H}_8$.
(a)[1]

Show the structures of a pair of positional isomers with formula $\text{C}_4\text{H}_8$.

(b)[1]

Show the structures of a pair of chain isomers with formula $\text{C}_4\text{H}_8$ that do not show stereoisomerism.

(c)[2]

Show the structures and full names of a pair of stereoisomers with formula $\text{C}_4\text{H}_8$.
