Glycine exists as `NH_(3)""^(+)CH_(2)COO^(-)` , zwitter ion but anthranilic acid (p-amino benzoic acid) does not exist as zwitter ion. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why glycine exists as a zwitterion while anthranilic acid (p-amino benzoic acid) does not, we need to analyze the structures and properties of both compounds. ### Step 1: Understanding Glycine Structure Glycine is the simplest amino acid with the structure: \[ \text{NH}_2\text{-CH}_2\text{-COOH} \] In this structure: - The amino group (\( \text{NH}_2 \)) can accept a proton (\( \text{H}^+ \)), becoming positively charged (\( \text{NH}_3^+ \)). ...
