Well I suppose the physical property is #"solubility."#

Explanation:

On a chromatographic column, a solute is partitioned between solution in the solvent, the so-called mobile phase, and adsorption on a stationary phase, the actual chromatographic column. More powerful solvents, and more soluble solutes tend to sweep material down the column more rapidly.
