Simulation
EXPLANATION:
Rf value is dependent on the polarity of the solvent system. It increases with the rise in the polarity while shows decreasing trend with the lowering of the polarity of the solvent system. This fact is found to be true in present analysis. As the solvent system moves over the surface of the stationary phase, it transports the analyses over the particles of the stationary phase. If, a highly polar solvent is used, it will interact strongly with the molecules of stationary phase and will leave only few sites on the surface of stationary phase, free to bind with the analyses. The analyses will, therefore, move quickly over the stationary phase. Similarly, polar groups in the solvent can interact strongly with polar functionality in the analyses and prevent interaction of the analyses with the surface of the stationary phase.
