Chromatography is an important technique extensively used to separate mixtures into their components, purify
compounds and also test the purity of compounds. Based on the principle involved, chromatography is classified
into different categories. Two of these are Adsorption chromatography and Partition chromatography. Two main
types of chromatographic techniques are based on the principle of differential adsorption column
chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography. Adsorption chromatography is based on the fact that different
compounds are adsorbed on an adsorbent to different degrees. Column chromatography involves the separation
of a mixture over a column of adsorbent (stationary phase) packed in a glass tube. Thin-layer chromatography
(TLC) is another type of adsorption chromatography, which involves the separation of substances of a mixture
over a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on a glass plate. Partition chromatography is based on the continuous
differential partitioning of components of a mixture between stationary and mobile phases.

30. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Covalent molecules formed by heteroatoms bound to have some ionic character. The ionic character is due to
shifting of the electron pair towards A or B in the molecule AB. Hence, atoms acquire small and equal charge
but opposite in sign. Such a bond which has some ionic character is described as a polar covalent bond. Polar
covalent molecules can exhibit a dipole moment. The dipole moment is equal to the product of charge
 separation, q and the bond length, d for the bond. The unit of dipole moment is Debye. One Debye is equal to
10-18 esu cm.
The dipole moment is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, the dipole moment of
molecules depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipole, but not the polarity of bonds alone. The
symmetrical structure shows a zero dipole moment. Thus, a dipole moment help to predict the geometry of the
molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis- and trans-isomers; ortho-, meta- and
para-forms of a substance, etc. The percentage of ionic character of a bond can be calculated by the application
of the following formula:
Experimental value dipole moment
% ionic character = Theoretical value of dipole moment
