Question 6
In paper chromatography, what is true of the component that travels furthest up the paper?
The right answer is the one marked above.
It is the least attracted to the stationary phase. A component strongly attracted to the paper is slowed down by it; one that is weakly attracted travels up quickly.
Nothing is boiled in chromatography, so boiling point plays no part at all — the technique is for mixtures of components that are not volatile.
