Complete the following paragraph.

The stationary phase in TLC is polarnonpolaracidic . Therefore, the more polarless polarmore acidic component of the mixture will travel a greater distance up the plate, resulting in a –––––– value for the component.

When separating a mixture containing benzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid, the (benzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid) spot would be expected to travel the greatest distance up the plate as it is the (most acidic, most polar, least polar) component. The (2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid, benzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid) would travel the least distance as it is the (least polar, least acidic, most polar) component.
