Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement (I): In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin film of liquid present in the inert support.
Statement (II): In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a stationary phase.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step 1: Analyse Statement I

"In partition chromatography, the stationary phase is a thin film of liquid present in the inert support."

✅ TRUE — In partition chromatography, the stationary phase is a liquid film (e.g., water) coated on an inert solid support. The mobile phase is also a liquid. Separation occurs due to differential distribution (partitioning) of solutes between the two liquid phases.

Step 2: Analyse Statement II

"In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a station
