What is the origin of flame colors?
Flame colours come from alkai metals reacting with salts to produce different colours.
Why not all metals emit colors in the flame test?
no not all metals produce a colour flame.
What makes different colours in a firework?
We did this experiment in chemistry (well something like it). There's different chemicals that is out into the powder. The chemicals react differently when exposed to heat therefore when exposed to the extreme heat of the small explosion, the chemicals give off a certain color. The color depends on the chemical.
How can a flame test be used to determine the identity of an element?
Some flame colours are characteristic of metals present, eg Lilac for K+, Red for strontium. However, this is only indicative, because there are a few at least that have a red colour, so it needs to be proven further with a chemical test
The distinctive flame colours of the alkali metal lithium?
Pink to crimson red.

What type of baskets for the home are flame retardant?
Baskets for the home made of certain materials will be flame retardant. These include those covered with flame retardant fabrics and those made of metals such as aluminium or iron. It is possible to treat baskets at home with flame retardant sprays.
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.

Why do the flame change colours according to the different element in flame test?
it has something to do with the chemical composition of the elements.
Flame testing in the workplace?
fireworks companys cheacking colours
Why is color used to analyze?
You think probable to flame test; some metals have specific colors in a flame.
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...
The distinctive flame colours of the alkali metal lithium?
Pink to crimson red.
What color does chloride ion produce in flame test?
yellow Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.
