Question

Why is $GSC$ not used nearly as extensively as$GLC?$

Short answer

Liquid rather than solid adsorbent is utilized as a stationary phase in , but it performs better since it relies on non-bonding interactions to dissolve species with similar characteristics (polar dissolves in polar and vice versa), while bonding interactions are minimal and not noticed.

Step-by-step solution

Step1; Definition of GSC,GLC

GSC is a type of chromatography that uses adsorption.

GLC stands for "partition chromatography."

Compound distribution coefficients are substantially greater in GSC.

The distribution coefficients in GLC are substantially less in comparison.

 Stationery phase.

The main disadvantage of GSC is that volatile molecules injected into the column can sometimes form transient or permanent complexes with the stationary phase, especially when polar species are present in both the gas and stationary phase.

GLC employs a liquid as a stationary phase instead of a solid adsorbent, but it performs better since it relies on non-bonding interactions to dissolve species with similar characteristics (polar dissolves in polar and vice versa), while bonding interactions are minimal and not seen.
