The poor solubility of glycine in organic solvents such ahs hydrocarbons lik etahnol and heptane is because of the weak of attraction between the organic solvent molecules and the zwitterions, i think. Without strong attractions between solvent and amino acid, ther isnt enough energy released to pull the ionic connections apart ahnd thus dissolve the amino acid.
btw glycines also known as : 2-aminoethanoic acid
Edit: also i have a side question: in the formula ^ it says ethanoic. Does that mean an ether group? if it does the structural formula doesnt have an ether (ether is oxygen connected to 2 alkyls), so why is it called eathnoic. if im totally wrong, then what is the ehtanoic part, wats the formula?
