The compounds having both $- N H_{2}$ and - COOH groups exists as Zwitter ion.
Amino acids contains both groups.
Hence they exists as Zwitter ion.

The compounds having both −NH2​ and - COOH groups exists as Zwitter ion. Amino acids contains both groups. Hence they exists as Zwitter ion. GlycineH2​NCH2​COOH​=H3​N+−Zwitter ionCH2​−COO−​

The compounds having both $- N H_{2}$ and - COOH groups exists as Zwitter ion.
Amino acids contains both groups.
Hence they exists as Zwitter ion.
