Question

Amino acids exist as zwitter ion. give its structure. why is it formed?

Answer 1

A zwitterion is a compound with no overall electrical charge, but which contains separate parts which are positively and negatively charged. If you increase the pH of a solution of an amino acid by adding hydroxide ions, the hydrogen ion is removed from the -NH3+ group.

Answer 2

Anions are negatively charged ions, and cations are positively charged ions. Zwitterions are ions with both a negative and a positive charge.

Amino acids are the well-known examples of zwitterion. These compounds have one ammonium (basic) and one carboxylate (acidic) groups. Amino acids are the building blocks used to make proteins and pep-tides.
