An amide is usually an organic compound that contains the functional group consisting of an acyl group (R-C=O) linked to a nitrogen atom. The term refers both to a class of compounds and a functional group within those compounds. The term amide also refers to deprotonated form of ammonia (NH3) or an amine, often represented as anions R2N.
