Why not all metals emit colors in the flame test?
no not all metals produce a colour flame.
What is the origin of flame colors?
Flame colours come from alkai metals reacting with salts to produce different colours.
When doing flame tests Li Cl and K Cl both contain Cl so what makes the flame tests different colors?
The flame tests are different because they contain different metal cations. Since the metals were the variable that you changed, you know that can be the only reason why the flames would be different colors.
What element in group 1 of the periodic table produces a red flame?
the metals, depending on the organization colors used by the one who colored the table if that made any sense
What flame is produced when charcoal is sprayed into the flame?
Sprinkling charcoal in a flame will cause the flame to change colors. This is apparent in fireworks displays, which routinely use charcoal.
Why not all metals emit colors in the flame test?
no not all metals produce a colour flame.
Why is color used to analyze?
You think probable to flame test; some metals have specific colors in a flame.
Why transition metal can not be determined by a flame photometry?
Since the temperature isn't high enough to excite transition metals, the method is selective toward detection of alkali and alkali earth metals.
What is the origin of flame colors?
Flame colours come from alkai metals reacting with salts to produce different colours.
Which elements in a flame test produce the least easily identified colors?
Na^+, & K^+
Are transition metals highly coloured?
The transition metals themselves are not particularly highly coloured. Gold is golden, copper is copper but the majority are grey or silver with a greater or lesser degree of shine.The compounds formed by transition metals (as opposed to those of group one and two metals) are highly coloured and as with all metals they all burn with distinctive flame colours.

The flame tests are different because they contain different metal cations. Since the metals were the variable that you changed, you know that can be the only reason why the flames would be different colors.
Why do different elements make different colors in a flame test?
copper and sodium. they have a mixture of flame colors
Explain why you would or would not expect significant ionization in the flame?
If the test agent have free ions the ionization of the flame will be significant. When the energy reaches a point when it take more energy the flame ionization will not be significant.
What element in group 1 of the periodic table produces a red flame?
the metals, depending on the organization colors used by the one who colored the table if that made any sense
What metals are used in foreworks?
Some common metals I can think of are: Magnesium, Mg, which gives a bright white colour; Ca, which gives a brick red flame; K, which gives a purple flame; Na, which gives an orange flame etc...
