It's all double dutch to me but this (Amide can also refer to the conjugate base of ammonia (the anion H2N−) or of an organic amine ) was what made me think Amide.

The definition of amide is also given as a compound derived from ammonia. Hopefully they will accept either answer.

An A-mide is IN-organic, so I-mide is the answer for me.

I'm going with Chambers & the "organic" in the clue -

Imide - "...any of a class of ORGANIC compounds formed from ammonia..."

Amide - "...any of various INORGANIC compounds..."

But I'm not a chemist... :-)

Looking at Chambers L-I-K i read the definition of amide as only Inorganic if a metal replaces one of the Hydrogen Atoms. But Organic if replaced by an Acid

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/amide

I am not a Chemist either. Interested to see the setters conclusion to the clue

Amides can be organic or inorganic [M(NH2)x] but imides are all organic.
