  • alpha - amino acids are high melting crystalline solids because of the zwitterion structure. They are moderately soluble in water. In acidic medium, alpha - amino acids exist as cations (I) and thus migrate towards cathode under the influence of an electric field. On the other hand, in alkaline medium, alpha - amino acids exist as anions (III) and thus migrate towards anode under the influence of an electric field. However, at some intermediate value of p^(H) , the concentration of the cationic form (I) and anionic form (III) will become equal and consequently the alpha - amino acid will exist primarily as the neutral dipolar ion (II). At this p^(H) , there would be no net migration of the amino acid in an electric field. This p^(H) at which there is no net migration of the amino acid under the influence of an applied electric field is called isoelectric point (pI). Each amino acid has a characteristic isoelectric point.

    The chemical behaviour of dihydrogen is determined, to a large extent, by bond dissociation enthalpy. The H-H bond dissociation enthalpy is the highest for a single bond between two atoms of any element. What inferences would you draw from this fact? It is because of this factor that the dissociation of dihydrogen into its atoms is only 0.081% around 2000K which increases to 95.5% at 5000K. Also, it is relatively inert at room temperature due to the high H-H bond enthalpy. Thus the atomic hydrogen is produced at a high temperature in an electric arc or under ultraviolet radiations. Since its orbital is incomplete with Is' electronic configuration, it does combine with almost all the elements. Which of the following bond dissociation enthalpies is the highest for a single bond between two atoms of any element ?
