amide
Definition
am·ide (am′īd′, -id)
noun
- any of a group of organic compounds containing the CO·NH radical (e.g., acetamide) or an acid radical in place of one hydrogen atom of an ammonia molecule (e.g., sulfanilamide)
- any of the ammono bases in which one hydrogen atom of the ammonia molecule is replaced by a metal (e.g., sodium amide, NaNH)
Etymology: am(monia) + -ide
