OR Sol. Rf = retardation factor
Sol. As the size of gaseous ion decreases, it get
more hydrated in water and hence, the size of Dis tan ce travelled by the subs tan ce from
aqueous ion increases. When this bulky ion reference line (c.m)
move in solution, it experience greater Rf =
Dis tan ce travelled by the solvent from
resistance and hence lower conductivity.
