* named after corresponding carboxylic acid

e. g. ethanol acid :
ethan amide Alkali :
* substituents present =

relative to C. in amide * produces salt of carboxylic acid 1- ammonia gas

A methanol Mide liquid at room temp ( H > CONTI , + NaOH > CHINNA + NH }

* rest of straight chain = solids IV
* can be used as test for amide
