Answer: aldehyde

Explanation:

Functional groups are specific group of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.

1. Amides have functional group
-O=C-NH_2.

Example: Ethanamide with molecular formula
CH_3CONH_2

2. Aledydes have functional group
-O=CH.

Example: Ethanal with molecular formula
CH_3CHO

3. Ketones have functional group
-C=O.

Example: Propanone with molecular formula
CH_3COCH_3

4. Esters have functional group
-O=C-OR.

Example: methyl ethanoate with molecular formula
CH_3COOCH_3
