The rf value is shorthand for the retention value of a substance. It is used in chromatography to determine the components of an unknown sample.

The largest Rf value is 1, which occurs when the compound remains at the origin of the chromatogram and does not move at all. The smallest Rf value is 0, which happens when the compound moves with the solvent front and does not adhere to the stationary phase.
RF - Republique Francaise (= French Republic).
The same amount of time as it takes light waves; RF (radio frequency) is a type of electromagnetic wave, just like light. To get the time, divide the distance by the speed (in this case, the speed of light).
they interact more with the silica gel, thus travel less than non-polar compounds. Resulting in a lower Rf value.
No, it's not possible to have an RF value greater than one. Rf values are a ratio of the distance a spot has traveled to the total distance of the solvent front. Since the distance of the front is always greater than the distance of a spot, the Rf value is always less than 1.
Less than 30 cents.
The Rf values do not indicate the solubility of a substance. The Rf value or retardation factor is the ratio of the distance traveled by the center of a pot to the distance traveled by the solvent front in chromatography.
the Rf value value is 8.44 as the particles are lighter than the solvent
When the Rf value is zero, it generally refers to the position of the substance in the chromatogram. This means it did not move of that origin point.
Rf Value - It tells you the affinity that the compound has to the solvent...High Rf = little or no polar groups and low Rf = more polar groups. Question: In TLC (thin-layer chromatography) when the compound has a high Rf the solvent is: a. less polar b. Is more polar Answer: a. less polar
Rf values are distance of substance from origin divided by distance of solvent front from origin. As the substance travels with the solvent, the solvent will always have a greater or equal value to the distance travelled by substance. This means the highest value of Rf is 1.
Rf is about .45
It will depend on the solvent system you are using.
Yes, but it will be less efficient than one designed for FM.
The Rf value depends on the type of plate used and solvents.
