6. One of chromatography's best attributes is its ability to separate the individual components in complex mixtures. Choose the correct statement that best explains how chromatography accomplishes this separation. The separation of molecules in a mixture occurs by taking advantage of the differences in polarity of each molecule. Depending on the chromatography setup (normal vs. reverse phases) some molecules will travel more slowly than others by interacting with the stationary phase. The separation of molecules in a mixture occurs by taking advantage of the differences in the size of each molecule. Depending on the chromatography setup (normal vs. reverse phases) some molecules will travel more slowly than others by interacting with the stationary phase.
