___________________ 1)Chromatography is the name of the group of techniques that can be used to separate the components of mixtures. 2)Chromatography could not separate the components of mixtures. 3)Chromatography could not separate all mixtures but it can separate many different types of mixtures. 4)Solid, liquid and gaseous mixtures can be separated by chromatography. 5)Scientists have invented many different procedures of chromatography. 6)Some of these are gas chromatography, ion – exchange chromatography and adsorptive chromatography.
