Recall that TLC functions as it does because compounds caneither interact with the stationary phase (i.e., silica gel) or themobile phase (i.e., solvent). Draw a picture that shows theinteractions between 2-phenylphenol and silica gel; and2-phenylphenol and the TLC solvent. Silica gel is best described asparticles of SiO2 with silanol (Si-OH) groups on the surface.
The solvent I used was Hexanes. I would appreciate it if someonecould draw the structures for me!
