Answer:
Due to this dipolar behaviour, they have strong electrostatic interactions within them and with water. But halo-acids do not exhibit such dipolar behaviour. For this reason, the melting points and the solubility of amino acids in water is higher than those of the corresponding halo-acids.

Answer:
Like ionic compounds, amino acids have a strong electrostatic attraction when present in zwitterion. Because of this, they have a melting point and solubility in higher than the corresponding haloacids.
