What Type of Compounds Can Be Separated by Paper Chromatography?

Points on type of compounds separated by paper chromatography:

• Paper chromatography separates mixture components that can dissolve in a liquid mobile phase and migrate on a paper medium during chromatographic separation. 
• Soluble compounds interact with both the liquid solvent and the paper surface as they move across the paper. 
• This requirement ensures that separation occurs on paper through a liquid-driven chromatographic process.
