What does IMIDO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Relating to or containing the nitrogen-based group characteristic of an imide, especially the NH group linking two acyl groups.
Chemists use imido as a prefix or descriptive term when naming compounds that carry this group, distinguishing them from related structures such as amido or imino compounds. The term appears mostly in formal chemical nomenclature and in technical papers describing reaction products rather than in general scientific writing. Because imido, imide and imine sound alike but describe different arrangements of atoms, careful use of the correct term matters for naming compounds accurately.
