Acetamide :: Acetamide (n.) A white crystalline solid, from ammonia by replacement of an equivalent of hydrogen by acetyl..

Tetracid :: Tetracid (a.) Capable of neutralizing four molecules of a monobasic acid; having four hydrogen atoms capable of replacement ba acids or acid atoms; -- said of certain bases; thus, erythrine, C4H6(OH)4, is a tetracid alcohol..
