It is true that both amides and amine are the derivatives of ammonia.
Amines are the derivatives of ammonia [tex]\text{(NH_3)}[/tex] where nitrogen atom makes bond to 1, 2, or 3 alkyl or aromatic groups of compounds. Amides are the amino group [tex]\text{(-NH_2)}[/tex], which is derived from ammonia, replaces the hydroxyl group [tex]\text{(-OH)}[/tex] in a carboxylic acid.
The simplest amides are the proper derivation of ammonia whereas the higher degree amides are the derivation of secondary amine.
