what is the stationary phase in paper chromatography?
● the solvent
○ the mixture
○ the paper
○ the spots
In paper chromatography, the stationary phase is the phase that does not move. The paper is stationary (it doesn't flow or move during the process), while the solvent is the mobile phase (it moves, carrying the components of the mixture). The mixture is what's being separated, and the spots are the separated components after the process. So the stationary phase is the paper.
