Question

Column Chromatography Question.

please explain briefly!

**Question:**

Which compound from each pair would be collected first when purifying a mixture using column chromatography with silica gel?

**Options:**

a)  
- CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH  
- CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Br  

b)  
- Cyclohexanone (depicted with a six-membered carbon ring with a double-bonded oxygen)  
- Cyclohexene (depicted with a six-membered carbon ring with a single double bond)  

c)  
- Naphthalene (depicted with two fused six-membered carbon rings)  
- Phenol (depicted with a six-membered carbon ring containing an -OH group)  

**Explanation:**

In column chromatography with silica gel, separation is based on the polarity of the compounds, with less polar compounds passing through the column faster than more polar ones.
