The first O is connected to the second C with a double bond.

The underscore means subscript.

I assume that is CH3COOCH3. That is an ester.
RCOOH acid
RCOOCH3 ester
RCH2NH2 amine
RCH3CONH2 amide (a primary amide in this case)
Answered by M, S, E
So the answer would be an ester since it would be the functional group?
