Question

α - Amino acids have high melting points compared to the corresponding amines or carboxylic acids of comparable molecular mass

Answer 1

Answer:

Amino acids have two functional groups −NH2 and −COOH. Hence the amino acids exist as a dipolar ion (or) zwitterion. As a result, strong electrostatic forces exist between zwitterions. Hence amino acids have high melting points than the amines or carboxylic acids

Answer 2

Amino acids exist as zwitterions resulting in strong dipole-dipole attraction

Amino acids have two functional groups −NH 2and −COOH. Hence the amino acids exist as a dipolar ion (or) zwitterion. As a result, strong electrostatic forces exist between zwitterions.

Hence amino acids have high melting points than the corresponding halo-acids .
