Title: In a TLC, will different compounds with the same functional group have the same Rf values?
Post by: Rkamu on Sep 19, 2012
I'm in an Organic Chemistry lab and we did a TLC ( Thin Layer Chromatography) lab and this is one of the questions they asked us at the end.

No.  Not unless they are identical compounds.  It depends on what other functional groups are on the molecule and what the overall polarity of the molecules are.
