The citrus oils were analyzed using gas chromatography, which separates compounds based on polarity and boiling point. Column chromatography and thin layer chromatography work on similar separation principles as gas chromatography, but rely only on polarity of compounds and solvents for separation. Explain why neither column chromatography nor thin layer chromatography would be appropriate separation methods for the terpenes isolated in Experiment 7.
