In [[chemistry]], the term '''amide''' ( or or )<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref></ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> usually refers to an '''acid amide''', a compound with the structure R<sub>''n''</sub>E(=O)<sub>''x''</sub>NR<sub>2</sub>, where ''n'' and ''x'' may be 1 or 2, E is some element, and each R represents a (possibly different) [[organic compound|organic]] [[functional group|group]] including [[hydrogen]].<ref></ref> It can be described as a derivative of an [[oxoacid]] R<sub>''n''</sub>E(=O)<sub>''x''</sub>OH with an [[hydroxyl group]] –OH replaced by an [[amine]] group –NR<sub>2</sub>. Some important subclasses are

* [[amide|carboxamide]]s, or organic amides, where E = [[carbon]], with the general formula RC(=O)NR<sub>2</sub>.

* [[phosphoramide]]s, where E = [[phosphorus]], such as R<sub>2</sub>P(=O)NR<sub>2</sub>

* [[sulfonamide (chemistry)|sulfonamides]], where E = [[sulfur]], namely RS(=O)<sub>2</sub>NR<sub>2</sub>

The term '''amide''' may also refer to

* amide group, a functional group –C(=O)N= consisting of a [[carbonyl]] adjacent to a [[nitrogen]] atom.

* cyclic amide or [[lactam]], a [[cyclic compound]] with the amide group –C(=O)N– in the ring.

* [[metal amide]], an [[salt (chemistry)|ionic compound]] ("salt") with the [[azanide]] anion H<sub>2</sub>N<sup>−</sup> (the [[conjugate base]] of [[ammonia]]) or to a derivative thereof R<sub>2</sub>N<sup>−</sup>.
