There are 2 structural Isomers of primary  pentanol have a chiral carbon atom and they are 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3-methylbutan-1-ol. (Structure attached as image)

What is Chiral carbon ?

Chiral carbon are carbon atoms that are attached to four different substituents, that are placed at the corners of a tetrahedron.

Chiral carbon atoms are also referred to as 'stereogenic carbons' or 'asymmetrical carbon atoms'.

Hence, 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3-methylbutan-1-ol are 2 structural Isomers of primary  pentanol have a chiral carbon atom.
