Question

How does the polarity of the solvent affect the separation efficiency in TLC?

Accepted Answer

Higher polarity increases separation efficiency for polar compounds.

Answer

Higher polarity decreases separation efficiency for non-polar compounds.

Answer

Lower polarity increases separation efficiency for all compounds.

Answer

Solvent polarity has no effect on separation efficiency.
