  1. when conducting a thin layer chromatography experiment; Consider 2 hypothetical samples. Sample #1 is weakly adsorbed to the silica gel in the TLC plate and readily dissolves in the developing solvent. Sample #2 is more strongly adsorbed to the silica gel but only moderately dissolves into the developing solvent. Which sample will have a greater Rf and why?
