Azanide, more commonly known as amide, is a functional group characterized by a nitrogen atom connected to a carbonyl group (C=O) within organic compounds. Structurally represented as -CONH2, amides are derived from carboxylic acids where the hydroxyl group is replaced by an amino group. They play a critical role in biochemistry, notably in forming the backbone of proteins through peptide bonds between amino acids. Amides are relatively stable due to resonance stabilization of the carbonyl group with the lone pair on the nitrogen. They are found in various natural and synthetic materials, including plastics like nylon.
