In chemistry, a zwitterion (/ˈtsvɪtərˌaɪɒn/ TSVIT-ər-EYE-on; from German Zwitter 'hermaphrodite' + Ion), also called an inner salt or dipolar ion is a molecule that contains an equal number of positively and negatively charged functional groups. (1,2-dipolar compounds, such as ylides, are sometimes excluded from the definition.
