Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In reversed-phase chromatography, the mobile phase is relatively polar, and the stationary phase is relatively nonpolar.Nonpolar solute molecules will interact more strongly with the stationary phase, whereas polar solute molecules will stay associated with the mobile phase longer.Thus the more polar solute molecules will be least retained in this type of chromatography.
