Elements most likely to form coloured salts?
Nickel, copper, uranium, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, etc. (In other words, transition metals (including the Lanthanides and Actinides)).
Why common salt is black in colour?
Not sure of the detail your after, but the simplest reason is because different salts have different elements in them, and since all atoms have a unique spectrum, they all emit different colours, the salts are based on the metals since metals tend to emit in the visible spectrum. Hence different salts have different metals which absorb energy from the flame and then give it off in a distintive series of jumps the electron will make from the excited state to it's ground state. This series is specific to the atom, and hence a different colour to that of the other salts.
What elements are known for forming salts?
All metals form salts.
What is salt in the periodic table?
Salts are formed by combining metals and non metals.The elements of the salt are present in periodic table.
What are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals?
Halogens are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals.
Colored salts generallly have a cation from which section of the periodic table?
Coloured salts generally have a cation which is a transition metal. Iron, Chromium, Manganese, Vanadium and Copper all are examples of transition metals that make colourful salts. Notice that there are exceptions - particularly the period 6 main group metals like lead share some of the properties of the transition group metals and can make colourful salts - the bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide (PbI) is an example commonly used as demonstration of precipitation reactions.

Are all nickel salts are coloured?
All nickel(II) salts are coloured.
Is silver an acid or base?
Silver is a transition metal neither acid nor base however its salts are Lewis acids just like other transition metals.
Formed by metals?
Metals forms several compounds under various conditions. They will form metallic salts. They will also form alloys when combined with other metals.

Which salt contains an ion that forms a colored solution?
Most transition metals form colored ion-complexes.
What type of metals is found in salts?
All types of metals form salts.
What elements are known for forming salts?
All metals form salts.
Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
What is salt in the periodic table?
Salts are formed by combining metals and non metals.The elements of the salt are present in periodic table.
What force holds together ions in a salt?
Salts are formed only between metals and non metals..eg NaClthese are bounded by strong ionic bond which holds ions in a salt..!!
