-- If there are only <em>10</em> elements in the universe that can make compound molecules, and a compound molecule can be formed by combining 1, 2, 3, or 4 different elements, then that's already the possibility of at least 400 different molecules.
-- There are many more than 10 elements that can combine to form compound molecules.
-- Every single "<em>organic</em>" molecule, of which there are thousands, is the combination of <em>carbon</em> with other elements.
-- Most all of the substances that can be distilled out of oil, including the paraffin waxes, the alcohols, gasoline, kerosene, butane, propane, octane, and natural gas, are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, only with different numbers of each one.
-- Plastics, drugs, rubber, and DNA are examples of molecules that are made of <em>hundreds</em> of atoms.
The following statements apply: 1. Resolution of low boiling solutes is maintained. 2. Retention times of high boiling solutes are decreased. Temperature programming refers to the process of increasing the temperature of gas chromatography column as a function of time. Temperature programming is usually applied to samples which contain a mixture of components whose boiling points are within narrow ranges
