Amino acids have high melting point and are soluble in water:
- Due to the high ionic attractions among the compounds of amino acids, they will have high melting points.
- They are soluble in water because water is a polar solvent which is having large dipole moment for their molecules.
- Usually, the melting points of amino acids are from 200 – 300-degree centigrade.
- This is because the amino acids have very strong ionic attractions between its compounds.
- It requires much energy to break those attractions to make it melt. So it requires a high amount of heat.
- As the compounds of amino acids are having very strong ionic attractions, and when it is placed in water those attractions are replaced by molecules of water.
