Solution

The correct options are
A Isoelectric point is the pH at which an amino acid exists primarily in its neutral from
B Isoelectric point is the average of $p K_{a}$ value of $α$ - $C O O H$ amino $α$ - $N H_{3}^{+}$ groups[valid only for neutral amino acid]
C Glycine is characterised by two $p K_{a}$ values
D For neutral amino acid, the concentration of zwitter ion is maximum at its isoelectric point
The intermediate pH, at which the amino acid shows no tendency to migrate towards any of the electrodes, when placed in an electric field, is known as isoelectric point.
For neutral amino acid, the concentration of zwitter ion is maximum at its isoelectric point as net charge is zero at this point.
Glycine is characterised by two pKa values (amine and carboxylic groups).
