Is fractional distillation a physical method?

Yes - fractional distillation is a physical method. It relies on differences in the physical properties of the components being distilled and left behind. In particular, it relies on the differeces in vapor pressures of the different components - or the fugacities if you want to get more involved in the actual thermodynamics.


What is the advantage of simple distillation to fractional distillation?

Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.
