Answer #1

If all the spots remained on baseline , this indicates that the solubility of spots in the developing solvent (eluent) is zero and spots aren't mixing within eluent(mobile phase) at all .

To fix this problem we have to change the mobile phase solvent with opposite polarity new solvent .
