Answer 1

An organic compound in which a carbonyl group is bonded to a nitrogen atom is an amide.

Step-by-step explanation:

An amide is an organic compound which has a carbonyl group and is bonded to a nitrogen atom.

If a carbonyl group lies between the nitrogen and the compound, then it is called an amide.

These (amides) are usually regarded as the derivatives of carboxylic acids or ammonia in which the hydroxyl group has been replaced by an amine or ammonia.
