Each spectra is unique to each element as fingerprints are to humans because they each have their own spectral pattern and by comparing the spectra of a known element to the unknown element or ion you can identify them.

∙ 15y agoSince every metal ion has different electron configurations, the frequency of light emitted by energized ions is different for each. If you can accurately measure the frequencies of light from a sample, you can determine the electron configuration and therefore the metal.

The salts of which metal are used in photographic emulsions?
Silver salts (AgCl)
Are all salts white or gray with a metallic luster?
No. Many metal salts are not white or gray.
What is a practical use for the colours of metal salts?
A practical use for metal salt colors is pyrotechnics. Many technicians use these colored salts for things like concerts to provide entertainment.
How do you identify insoluble and soluble solutions?
This question needs to reworded, it makes no sense as written. Perhaps the question is supposed to be "how do you identify soluble and insoluble salts"?
How do you make salts by metals?
By the reaction of some metals with acids salts are obtained.
What are the applications of atomic emission spectrometry in pharmaceutics?
Atomic emission spectrometry is used to quantify alkali metals in alkali metal salts, infusion, and dialysis solutions. It is used used to determine the presence of metallic impurities in some of the other inorganic salts used in preparing these solutions.
Would it be possible to identify metal ions in a solution if the solution contained more than one kind of metal ion in it?
i'm no chemist .. but u could maybe add some kind of alkali and see if u can identify the resulting salts ? ..
What are inorganic metal salts?
Metal salts that contain no carbon except as carbonate/bicarbonate.
Is Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal?
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
Name two properties of metal salts?
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
What do metal oxides form?
Metal Salts + water
What are Mineral salts?
Two main components: a metal (or ammonium) as cation and an anion.
What are nonmetallic salts?
Practically all salts contain a metal; exceptions, for example, are ammonium salts.
Why are metal oxides not categorized as salts?
Salts are not only compounds of oxygen.
What do salts produce when heated?
- some salts as NaCl can be melted - other salts as Na2CO3 are thermally decomposed, obtaining a metal oxide
What are compounds composed of a metal and a non-metal known as?
salts
How are metal salts produced?
Salts are the products of reactions between an acid and a base.
