Answer: the functional group

Explanation:

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

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

Example: methyl ethanoate with molecular formula CH_3COOCH_3

2. Alcohols have functional group -OH.

Example: Propanol with molecular formula CH_3CH_2CH_2OH

3. Aledydes have functional group -O=CH.

Example: propanal with molecular formula CH_3CH_2CHO

Thus esters , alcohols and aldehydes may have same number of carbon atoms and similar branching pattern but different functional groups.
