Answer

  1. The organic compound ' B ' comprises an alcohol group. Butanol is the name of the compound, and its formula is $C _4 H _9 OH$.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{OH}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \text{H}$
  1. The organic compound 'A' contains a carboxyl group. The name of the acid is butanoic acid, and its formula is $C_3H_7COOH.$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{OH}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}$
  1. Compound ' C ' $\left( C _4 H _8 O \right)$, represents the molecular formula of an aldehydes as well as a ketone. The aldehyde represented by this formula is butanal $\left( C _3 H _7 CHO \right)$.
$ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Butanal}$ $ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{O} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{||} \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{C}-\text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H} \ \ \ \ \ \text{H}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Butanone}$

The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
