Best Answer

Chromatography is a way to separate mixtures. You start by dissolving your sample in a mobile phase. This mobile phase travels through a structure, the stationary phase. Depending on how much the compounds in the mixture like or dislike the stationary phase they will move at different speeds throughout the stationary phase.

This allows for slower moving compounds to separate from fast moving compounds and allowing you to collect different compounds from a single mixture.
