How does saturation effect RF value?

Answer 1

Saturation affects the RF value in a significant manner. With saturation of the air, this will result into high RF value which cause poor resolution.Ê

Answer 2

In general, as saturation increases, the RF value decreases. This is because an increase in saturation tends to increase retention of the compound on the stationary phase, resulting in a lower RF value. Conversely, lower saturation levels may allow the compound to move more freely, leading to a higher RF value.
