What is meant by the term “chromatography”? |
|
Answer» The term chromatography was originally derived from the Greek word chroma meaning colour and graphy meaning writing because the method was first used for the separation of coloured substances (plant pigments) into individual components. Now the term chromatography has lost its original meaning and the method is widely used for separation, purification and characterization of the components of a mixture whether coloured or colourless. |
