Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A.\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Theory based Thin layer chromoatography \((TLC)\) is another type of adsorption chromatography, which involve sepration of substance of a mixture ovel a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on glass plate. A thin layer (about \(0.2\,mm\) thick) of an adsorbent (silica gel) or…
