    We have analyzed the NH2_{2}CHO, HNCO, H2_{2}CO, and CH3_{3}CN (13^{13}CH3_{3}CN) molecular lines at an angular resolution of 0.3\sim 0.3'' obtained by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 toward 30 high-mass star-forming regions. The NH2_{2}CHO emission has been detected in 23 regions, while the other species have been detected toward 29 regions. A total of 44 hot molecular cores (HMCs) have been identified using the moment 0 maps of the CH3_{3}CN line. The fractional abundances of the four species have been derived at each HMC. In order to investigate pure chemical relationships, we have conducted a partial correlation test to exclude the effect of temperature. Strong positive correlations between NH2_{2}CHO and HNCO (ρ=0.89\rho=0.89) and between NH2_{2}CHO and H2_{2}CO (0.84) have been found. These strong correlations indicate their direct chemical links; dual-cyclic hydrogen addition and abstraction reactions between HNCO and NH2_{2}CHO and gas-phase formation of NH2_{2}CHO from H2_{2}CO. Chemical models including these reactions can reproduce the observed abundances in our target sources.Comment: Accepted for The Astrophysical Journal. 27 pages, 10 tables, and 13 figure
