Question

How do different affinities of components for the mobile and stationary phases result in separation during column chromatography?

Accepted Answer

Components with higher affinity for the stationary phase move slower, allowing separation.

Answer

Components with higher affinity for the mobile phase move slower, allowing separation.

Answer

Components with higher affinity for the stationary phase move faster, allowing separation.

Answer

Components with equal affinity for both phases move at the same speed, preventing separation.
