the B-term in the van Deemter equation
is only applicable to packed columns
becomes more significant when the mobile phase flow rate is low
independent of mobile phase flow rate
the C-term in the van Deemter equation
Molecules diffuse toward the detector or away from the detector, moving ahead or lagging behind the group..
While analyte molecules interact with the stationary phase, they are left behind those that are not.
results from the fact that different molecules must travel different distances during the separation
the A-term in the van Deemter equation
becomes worse when the mobile phase flow rate is high
