Answer:

False

Explanation:

False : It is better they are closer together

The RF ( retention factor ) is calculated with this formula

= distance travelled / distance travelled by solvent

And the larger the RF factor of a compound the less polar the compound ( i.e. it will not stick to the stationary phase ) hence it is better the RF values of the components to be closer
