Q: The principle involved in the separation of components in column chromatography is _______ at the solid liquid interface.
  • A. Adsorption
  • B. Partition
  • C. Size exclusion
  • D. Differentiation
Correct Answer: Option A - Column chromatography process involves the uniform percolation of a liquid solute through a column packed with finely divided material. It involves adsorption, partition or ion exchange phenomenon. The adsorption column chromatography is based on the retention of solute by surface adsorption. This technique is useful in the separation of non-polar substances and constitute of low volatility.
