Amides are named according to the same system as other organic compounds, with the suffix-amide used to designate the presence in the molecule of an amide group. The first step is to consider the number of carbon atoms forming a chain.
Sodium amide, commonly called sodamide, is the inorganic compound with the formula NaNH 2.odium amide can be prepared by the reaction of sodium with ammonia gas, but it is usually prepared by the reaction in liquid ammonia using iron(III) nitrate as a catalyst. The reaction is fastest at the boiling point of the ammonia, c. â33 Â°C. An electride, [Na(NH 3) 6 ] + e â , is formed as an intermediate.
