What does IMIDE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A chemical compound containing a nitrogen atom bonded to two acyl groups, formed from an acid by replacing an oxygen atom with an NH group.
An imide is closely related to an amide, but where an amide has one carbonyl group attached to nitrogen, an imide has two, giving it a distinct set of chemical properties. Succinimide and phthalimide are well-known examples, and compounds of this kind are used in industry to make certain plastics, dyes and pharmaceutical products. Chemists distinguish an imide carefully from the similarly named imine, since the two terms describe different arrangements of nitrogen within a molecule.
