Solution

Thin layer chromatography is a. adsorption chromatography.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a type of chromatography used to separate non-volatile mixtures.
  2. It involves a stationary phase consisting of a thin layer of adsorbent like silica gel, alumina, or cellulose on a flat, inert substrate.
  3. Compared to paper chromatography, the adsorbent in TLC has smaller particle sizes which provides a larger surface area for adsorption.
  4. The mobile phase, a solvent or solvent mixture, ascends the stationary phase due to capillary action, causing the sample to move along with it.
  5. Different
