MCQ
Given two compounds, one more polar than the other, which one will move up the silica stationery phase higher than the other in TLC?
  • A
    Polar compound
  • B
    Non polar compound
  • C
    Both will move equally
  • D
    None will move

Answer

  1. Non polar compound

Explanation:

Polar compounds will have more interaction with silica gel and hence polar compounds won't move much in the stationery phase.

Non polar compounds will have lesser interaction with the silica or the stationery phase and will move higher than the polar compound.
