The correct statement among the following, for a "chromatography" purification method is :
  1. Organic compounds run faster than solvent in the thin layer chromatographic plate.
  2. \(\mathrm{R}_f\) is an integral value.
  3. \(\mathrm{R}_f\) of a polar compound is smaller than that of a non-polar compound.
  4. Non-polar compounds are retained at top and polar compounds come down in column chromatography.

Solution

Non polar compounds are having higher value of $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{f}}$ than polar compound.
