(N/A) Adsorption chromatography is a technique based on the differential adsorption of various components of a mixture on a suitable adsorbent.
Since some compounds are more strongly adsorbed than others,they travel through the stationary phase at different rates,leading to their separation.
The two main types of adsorption chromatography are:
$(i)$ Column chromatography
$(ii)$ Thin layer chromatography
