Descending chromatography is faster because gravity aids in pulling the solvent down through the stationary phase, allowing for quicker elution of compounds. In this method, the analytes travel with the solvent flow, resulting in faster separation compared to ascending chromatography where the solvent has to move against gravity.
Compounds that are non-polar elute faster in reverse phase chromatography as the stationary phase is non-polar and retains polar compounds longer. Polarity of the compound determines its retention time in reverse phase chromatography.
In thin layer chromatography, separation is based on differences in the affinity of compounds for the stationary phase (usually a silica gel plate) and the mobile phase (solvent). As the mobile phase moves up the plate, compounds with higher affinity for the mobile phase move faster, leading to separation based on their different polarities or interactions with the stationary phase.
Column chromatography, is a broad term for all column chromatography methods, but is also synonomous with Gravity fed methods. Flash chromotography refers specifically to a column in which the eluant (or mobile phase) is moved through the column under pressure (using a hand pump for small scale, or a pressurised gas for a larger scale), the name Flash is derived from how much faster it is to run a column under pressure than via gravity.
The property of solvent determines the rate of migration of solute i.e., if the solvent is nonpolar, nonpolar molecules will move faster and if the solvent is polar, than polar molecules will move faster during separation.
Substances travel further up the paper in chromatography due to differences in their affinity to the mobile phase (solvent) and the stationary phase (paper). Substances that have higher affinity for the solvent will move faster and farther up the paper, while those with higher affinity for the stationary phase will travel slower and remain closer to the origin.

Paper chromatography and thin layer chromatography are both techniques used to separate and analyze mixtures of substances. The key differences between them lie in the materials used and the method of separation. In paper chromatography, a strip of paper is used as the stationary phase, while in thin layer chromatography, a thin layer of silica gel or other material is used. Additionally, in paper chromatography, the solvent moves up the paper through capillary action, while in thin layer chromatography, the solvent is applied directly to the stationary phase. Overall, thin layer chromatography is faster and more efficient than paper chromatography, but both techniques have their own advantages and applications in analytical chemistry.
Some substances will travel further up the paper in chromatography because they are more attracted to the mobile phase (solvent) and less attracted to the stationary phase (paper). This results in them moving faster and traveling a greater distance up the paper.
Compounds that are non-polar elute faster in reverse phase chromatography as the stationary phase is non-polar and retains polar compounds longer. Polarity of the compound determines its retention time in reverse phase chromatography.
Thin layer chromatography typically provides better resolution and separation of compounds due to the use of a uniform, inert stationary phase. It also offers faster separation times and requires smaller sample volumes compared to paper chromatography. Additionally, thin layer chromatography allows for visualization of separated compounds under UV light without the need for chemical staining.

TLC. The mobile phase is a liquid, the stationary phase is a solid. Useful for seperating and comparing mobility of solids and some liquids dissolved in the mobile phase by their affinities to the solid phase relative to the mobile phase. GLC. The mobile phase ia s gas, the stationary phase is a liquid on a solid support. same concept as TLC. useful for seperating gases by their affinities to the stationary phase...the mobility can then be compared to known compounds for possible identification.
One is faster and more flexible, the other is a bit heavier
The reverse phase is the stationary phase in chromatography where nonpolar molecules elute faster than polar molecules. This is opposite to normal phase chromatography, where polar molecules elute faster than nonpolar molecules.
