Difference between Surfactant and Zwitterion

Surfactant vs. Zwitterion

Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid. In chemistry, a zwitterion, formerly called a dipolar ion, is a molecule with two or more functional groups, of which at least one has a positive and one has a negative electrical charge and the net charge of the entire molecule is zero.

Similarities between Surfactant and Zwitterion

Surfactant and Zwitterion have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amine, Amphoterism, Betaine, Carboxylic acid, Quaternary ammonium cation.

Amine

In organic chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.

Amphoterism

In chemistry, an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid as well as a base.

Betaine

A betaine in chemistry is any neutral chemical compound with a positively charged cationic functional group such as a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium cation (generally: onium ions) that bears no hydrogen atom and with a negatively charged functional group such as a carboxylate group that may not be adjacent to the cationic site.
