    amide according to my knowledge it has physical properties which are:

    a. Easily soluble in water due to the presence of group C = O and NH enables the formation of hydrogen bonds
    b. polar
    c. Generally a solid at room temperature unless: formamide-shaped
    Amida is also very strong and / resistant to hydrolysis. But the presence of concentrated acid or base, hydrolysis can occur producing carboxylic acid.
