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 :

1. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
2. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Solution

Statement I is correct because partition chromatography utilizes a thin film of liquid on an inert support as the stationary phase, while Statement II is incorrect since in paper chromatography, the paper itself acts as the stationary phase, not a liquid.
