ohhh cool. i get it

but acetic acid doesnt contain a full ethyl group in its formula? why is it said that it contains one?

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?

Im farily new, real names alex. i like chemistry, and occasionlay making rocket motors from scratch. I Go to highschool. =)
