Some zwitterions, such as amino acid zwitterions, are in chemical equilibrium with an uncharged "parent" molecule. Betaines are zwitterions that cannot isomerize to an all-neutral form, such as when the positive charge is located on a quaternary ammonium group.

Ampholytes are zwitterions. [4] Molecules or ions that contain both acidic and basic functional groups. Amino acids H 2 N−RCH−CO 2 H hav both a basic group −NH 2 and an acidic group −COOH. Often such species exists as several structures in chemical equilibrium:

Zwitterions can be seen as dipolar compounds, unless dipolar not only means "with positive and negative charge", but also that the compound has only two charged centers (don't know if all dipolar compounds have only two charged centers). There are zwitterions with more than two; e.g. we have amino acids with multiple amino's.
Gram-negative: Fourth-generation cephalosporins are zwitterions that can penetrate the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. [32] They also have a greater resistance to β-lactamases than the third-generation cephalosporins. Many can cross the blood–brain barrier and are effective in meningitis. They are also used against Pseudomonas ...
A quinonoid zwitterion is a mesoionic zwitterion based on quinone-related chemical compounds.The benzene derivate 1,3-dihydroxy-4,6-diaminobenzene is easily oxidized by air in water or methanol to the quinonoid.
