Amino acids are usually possessing comparatively high B . P. Can you account for this?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In amino acids, there ate both acidic and'basic. groups. Since both actdic and basic groups are with in the same molecule, a dipolar ion is formed which is.known as zwitter ion. Zwitter fon'is formed as a result of proton exchange.between COOH and '-NH_2' groups. Due to zwitter ion formation amino acids have higher M.P.
