    sodamide is strong base not Acetylide anion. because sodamide is conjugate base of ammonia which is highly basic in nature while Acetylide is the conjugate base of acetylene which is highly acidic in nature.

    Sodium amide (NaNH2)- is mainly used as a strong base in organic chemistry, often in liquid ammonia solution. It is the reagent of choice for the drying of ammonia (liquid or gaseous). One of the main advantages to the use of sodium amide is that it mainly functions as a nucleophile. Acetylide anions are strong bases and strong nucleophiles. Therefore, they are able to displace halides and other leaving groups in substitution reactions. A etylide anion is more basic tham Sodamide because negative charge is highly stablised by -I effect of triple bond.
