Why is glycine nonpolar?
I think it has an amino group with an electronegativity difference of 0.8, and an OH group in the carboxyl group, which is also polar? Furthermore, the main chain is monoatomic.

I've been researching for a while, but I can't find any suitable sources. Can someone explain to me, or better yet, provide me with a source, how radiation therapy destroys tumor cells, i.e., on a physical level.
Hi guys, I wanted to ask if you know how to turn starch into alcohol. I'm stuck on this problem, so it would be great if you could help. Thanks in advance!!!
I've read that double bonds are unstable, react more easily, and are easily digestible by the body.
Is it entropically important whether a reaction proceeds completely to the products?
Could someone maybe help me with this?
Hello! Can anyone tell me whether the structure shown below (it's the antibiotic prulifloxacin) is hydrophilic, lipophilic, or amphiphilic? And how exactly can you tell? Thank you in advance! Lg
Who says that glycine is nonpolar? That’s not true.
An app where you can memorize the amino acids.
Are you studying chemistry? If so, then glycine is polar,
?
Yes and yes
Just ask, because often the division takes place only by side chain. This is useful in that the amino acids never occur individually but in proteins. The amino and carboxylic acid groups are bound. For the polarity and the hydrophilic character of the protein, the side chains of the amino acids play a role.
There is nothing about the reasons for the division.
In a video of Simpleclub, the polarity of the whole molar cooling was also dependent on the side chain.

In your app, what about what this classification refers to or in what context?
Ah!
This classification probably refers more to the side chains than to the whole molecule.
Alanine as a whole molecule is hardly hydrophobic.
@JenerDerBleibt why is Alanin considered hydrophobic if it has only one methyl group as the alkyl chain?
The glycine molecule is polar. Only the side chain is considered in polypeptides. This is practically nonpolar in the case of glycine.
