Answer: Different adsorption or partition tendencies.
- A Different adsorption or partition tendencies
- B Different molecular masses of components
- C Different boiling points of components
- D Different densities of the components
Correct answer: A. Different adsorption or partition tendencies
Explanation: In adsorption and partition chromatography components are separated by how strongly each is retained by the stationary phase relative to the mobile phase.
Geometric (cis-trans) isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene differ only in the relative arrangement of groups across the rigid C=C double bond.
Concept context
General Organic Chemistry covers the rules behind all organic reactions. Covers inductive effect, resonance, hyperconjugation, types of reactions (substitution, addition, elimination), and isomerism including optical and geometric forms.
