The distance travelled on a TLC plate depends on?
The polarity of the compound(s) and the polarity of the mobile phase (solvent system)
Like dissolves like true or false
true
Stationary phase
is polar. an absorbent (ex: silica gel)
Mobile phase
is non-polar. solvent mixture that carries compound across stationary phase. mobile=moving

mobile phase is too polar. spots will move up faster.

mobile phase is just right. best for spot separation. delta Rf should be around 0.2-0.3

mobile phase is too non-polar

Baseline too low
Rf value
distance spot travelled/distance solvent travelled
Aqueous phase rests where?
at the bottom
Aqueous phase examples
brine, sodium bicarbonate
Organic phase lies where?
on top
