Molecules As Horses Associations

a: Chromatography ~
b: a horse race with a muddy track

What: "Chromatography is like a horse race on a muddy track. Some horses are better "mudders" than others. Just as all the horses start together at the starting line, so all the food dyes start together at the drop. The horses that know how to run on a muddy track pull ahead of the others, and the horses become separated." One of the best analogies on a big list of good analogies.
