Determine the minimum number of theoretical plates, n , required to achieve baseline separation with a resolution that is desirable for quantitative analysis of two compounds with an adjusted relative retention, α , of 1.051 and retention factors of 5.02 and 5.28 . n = plates in an attempt to increase the resolution of the separation, a researcher decreased the column length. will decreasing the column length increase the resolution of the separation?

Use Fensky's equation to solve this problem.

Explanation:

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

can you attach a picture of the lettuce? : )
