A TLC is developed using a mixture of acetone/methanol (both polar solvents) as the mobile phase. The solvent front runs 10 cm. Three spots A, B, and C are spotted with the following distances:- A: 3.5 cm- B: 8 cm- C: 5 cm**Question:** Which spot is the most polar?- ○ A- ○ B- ○ C- ○ Both B and C**Explanation:** In thin-layer chromatography (TLC), the most polar compounds tend to travel the least distance on the plate, since they interact more strongly with the polar stationary phase. Therefore, the spot that moves the least distance from the origin is generally considered the most polar. Based on the distances provided, spot A is the most polar, as it traveled the shortest distance (3.5 cm).

5. Properties and IMF: Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b are almost identical in structure, but they separated during TLC. Report the RFs you recorded for both molecules. What functional group(s) are different between them? Then explain these RF values by comparing the IMF present in each molecule to those present in the mobile or stationary phase and how this shaped their affinities for each phase. Use the terms RF, IMF, polar, nonpolar, affinity, mobile phase and stationary phase.

If the stationary phase and the compound being tested are both polar, will the retention factor (Rf) likely be smaller or larger than if a nonpolar compound was tested? Why? 1) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O 2) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O3) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase 4) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase
