Expert Solution
Step 1

TLC is a separation technique in which silica is used as a stationary phase and the non-polar solvent is used as a mobile phase. The molecules on TLC are separated on the basis of their polarities. Higher is the polarity, stronger will be the interaction with the stationary phase and solute will travel less distance. The lower the polarity, the weaker will be the interaction with the stationary phase and the solute will travel a large distance.
