(a)(i) It is an atom or group of bonded atoms that is responsible for the chemical behaviour of an organ compound

(ii)(I) — OH or hydroxyl group or alkanol

(C) C\(_4\) H\(_8\) + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) \(\to\) C\(_4\)H\(_8\)HSO\(_4\)

C\(_4\)H\(_9\)HSO\(_4\) + H\(_2\)O \(\to\) C\(_4\)H\(_8\)OH + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)

OR
CH\(_2\) = CHCH\(_2\)CH + H\(_2\)O \(\to\) CH\(_3\)OHCHCH\(_2\)CH\(_3\)

OR
