Which behavior in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results when the stationary phase’s interaction potential weakens?

💡 Explanation

Increased analyte elution velocity occurs because reduced interaction potential weakens the interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase, impacting retention. As a result, the analyte spends less time interacting and elutes faster, therefore elution velocity increases, rather than changes in viscosity or saturation.
