Type of chromatography

Question

Accepted Answer

Chromatography is a technique used to separate and analyze mixtures of chemicals into their individual components.

Types of chromatography include gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography.
Gas chromatography separates volatile compounds based on their affinity for a stationary phase.
Liquid chromatography separates compounds based on their interactions with a liquid mobile phase and a solid stationary phase.
Thin-layer chromatography separates compounds on a thin layer of adsorbent material.
Other types of chromatography include ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography.

Accepted Answer

Chromatography is a technique that separates complex mixtures by passing substances through a mobile phase and a stationary phase. The four main types of chromatography are:
1)Gas chromatography
The sample is turned into a gas and carried through a column by an inert gas, such as helium or nitrogen.
2)High-performance liquid chromatography
A type of liquid chromatography (LC) that separates a mixture in a solution into its individual components.
3)Paper chromatography
A sample is applied to a sheet of filter paper, which is then exposed to a solvent or mobile phase.
4)Thin-layer chromatography
A solid–liquid technique that uses a thin stationary phase to separate the components of a mixture.
