    How do you explain the amphoteric behaviour of ammoacids? Amphoteric behavior is due to the presence of basic group  and acidic group .  

    Answer:

    Ammo acids have amino  group, basic in nature and carboxyl  group which is acidic in nature. In aqueousmedium, NH^ group accepts a proton and  group loses aproton forming a dipolar ion, called the Zwitter ion. In this form,amino acids behave both as acids and bases so they are amphotericin nature.
