There are far too many isomers of $C_{7} H_{12}$ $"C"_7"H"_12$ to give their condensed structures here.

They include alkynes, alkadienes, and all kinds of monocyclic and bicyclic hydrocarbons.

Here are a few examples.

${CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {C\equivCCH}_{2} {CH}_{3}$ $"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"C≡CCH"_2"CH"_3$

${CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {C\equivCCH}_{3}$ $"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"C≡CCH"_3$

${CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} {CH}_{2} C\equivCH$ $"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"CH"_2"C≡CH"$

${({CH}_{3})}_{3} {CC\equivCCH}_{3}$ $("CH"_3)_3"CC≡CCH"_3$

${CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {CH=CH-CH=CHCH}_{3}$ $"CH"_3"CH"_2"CH=CH-CH=CHCH"_3$

etc.
