Why is LDA lithium diisopropylamide referred to as an amide when it is obviously just a deprotonated amine?

In chemistry, an amide is usually an organic compound that contains the functional group consisting of an acyl group (R-C=O) linked to a nitrogen atom (N). The term refers both to a class of compounds and a functional group within those compounds. The term amide also refers to deprotonated form of ammonia (NH3) or an amine, often represented as anions R2N-. The remainder of this article is about the carbonyl-nitrogen sense of amide. For discussion of these "anionic amides," see the articles sodium amide and LDA.

What element is used to treat depression?
A medicines used to treat depression is often referred to as lithium but it is NOT the element lithium. Taking pure lithium metal would be very dangerous as it is a very reactive alkali metal.
What compound name is LiBr?
Lithium Bromine
What are other names for lithium?
lithium is lithium
What is the chemical name for lithium?
Lithium is a chemical element and it is simply called Lithium, its symbol is Li.
What contains lithium?
Lithium batteries. Granite and lithium stearate.

Lithium diisopropylamide
What is an LDA reaction in science?
LDA stands for lithium diisopropylamide. This compound causes a number of reactions, including the alkylation and halogenation of enolates, and the Aldol reaction.

What is the molecular formula of lithium and Fluorine?
Lithium is a metal, so is referred to as a metallic lattice, so molecular formula doesnt apply. gaseous lithium can form Li2 at high temperatures. Fluorine forms F2 gas in its standard molecular state
What will be released if Fluoroantimonic acid and lithium diisopropylamide react with each other?
When Acids and Bases react with eachother, carbon dioxide and a lot of energy is released. Fluoroantimonic acid is a Super acid. It is the strongest acid known to man. Lithium Diisopropylamide is a Super Base. It is the strongest base known to man. Even when weaker acids and bases are combined, a huge ammount of energy is released. If these two substances were combined, the explosion would be extremely huge. No one knows exactly how huge it is, because it it too dangerous to calculate. Also, Flouroantimonic acid reacts with air. Both of these are not found in nature, so they would never naturally react, and they are only kept under strict security in approved laboratories. If these substances were commonly avalible, people could cause unimaginable damage. If these substances were combined, the explosion would be so huge, it would probably be visible from space!
7 elements that are never found as a single atom?

lithium hydroxide + carbon dioxide --> lithium bicarbonate
Is Ridgid 24v lithium Ion battery the same as the ryobi 24v lithium Ion battery?
They appear to be similar but are not identical. One user has reported being able to modify the Ryobi (remove some plastic/material) to make it fit. This would obviously void a warrantee.
