Here we consider two topics that apply to a gas chromatographic separation, both of which are a function of the properties of gases.

Liquid-solid chromatography involves polar stationary phases and nonpolar solvents for separating compounds, excelling in analyzing isomers. Ion-exchange chromatography uses resin beads with ionic functional groups to separate ions based on their affinity for the exchange sites, utilizing gradient elutions to affect solute retention.
