Which form of chromatography is INCORRECTLY defined?
A)adsorption chromatography - solute is adsorbed into solid particles
B)partition chromatography - solute equilibrates between the stationary liquid and the mobile phase
C)ion-exchange chromatography - solute ions of the opposite charge are attracted to the stationary phase
D)molecular exclusion chromatography - solute is separated based on size
E)affinity chromatography - solute binds to a molecule specific for the solute

Question
