Chromatography is a method of separating and analyzing mixtures of chemicals.
The separation, especially of closely related compounds, by allowing a solution or mixture to seep through an adsorbent (such as clay, gel, or paper) so each compound becomes adsorbed into a separate, often colored, layer.
It is of various types like, paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography etc.
