The formal system of classification was introduced by a Swiss scientist named Carolus Linnaeus.
He first split living things into a general category called KINGDOM.
- The kingdom is further split into large smaller groups called PHYLUM (for animals) and DIVISION (for plants).
- Each phylum or division is broken down into CLASSES.
- Each class is broken down into ORDERS
- Orders into FAMILIES,
- Families into GENUS
- Genus into SPECIES
Thus, the linnaean system of classification from highest (most general category) to the lowest level is as follows: Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species.

When using chromatography, the 2 solutes in the solvent paper should have different Rf values from the base line to identify them as different compounds.
If they were to have the same speed in the solvent, they would appear as 1 dot instead of 2 separate dots, which is a false reading.
