In chemistry, an amide is one of three kinds of compounds:

(sometimes called acid amide) the organic functional group characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) linked to a nitrogen atom (N), or a compound that contains this functional group (pictured to the right); or
a particular kind of nitrogen anion.
any organic compound derived by the replacement of a hydroxyl group by an amino group.
Amides are the most stable of all the carbonyl functional groups.

Many chemists make a pronunciation distinction between the two, saying (IPA: /?'mi?d/ for the carbonyl-nitrogen compound and /'æm??d/ for the anion. Others substitute one of these pronunciations with /'æm?d/, while still others pronounce both /'æm?d/, making them homonyms.
