Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: Retardation factor Rf can be measured in meter/centimetre.

Statement-II: Rf value of a compound remains constant in all solvents.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. Statement-I is true but statement-II is false
  2. Both statement-I and statement-II are true
  3. Both statement-I and statement-II are false
  4. Statement-I is false but statement-II is true

Solution

Rf= retardation factor

Rf=Distance travelled by the substance from reference line cmDistance travelled by the solvent from reference line cm

Note: Rf value of different compounds are different.
