The melting points and solubility in water of amino acids are higher than those of the corresponding halo acids. Explain.

Explanation

Because-of the Zwitter,ion structures [internal salt]

Q. -amino scids are highly polar and 's 0' hre high melting' crystalline solids. Except at isoelectric. point where the amino acid has least solubility ird Water, these amino ucids are moderately soluble.in water again due to their polar character, On the other handi, thaloucids being coyalent compolinds do not form such. 'nn' igri and so arg soluble to a less extent-and their melting.points are Igw,
