- some salts as NaCl can be melted - other salts as Na2CO3 are thermally decomposed, obtaining a metal oxide
sodium
Many salts do not decompose when heated.
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
Flame colours come from alkai metals reacting with salts to produce different colours.
Salts are the products of reactions between an acid and a base.

A practical use for metal salt colors is pyrotechnics. Many technicians use these colored salts for things like concerts to provide entertainment.
sodium
The cause of the color is light (specific spectral lines) emitted by the metal from the salt at high temperatures.
Many salts do not decompose when heated.
Many salts do not decompose when heated.
Various salts are added to the mix:Copper salts - blueStrontium salts - redSodium salts - yellowBarium salts - greenCalcium salts - orangeCobalt salts - blueCryolite - yellowLithium salts - bright red
By heating salts can be dehydrated, thermally decomposed or melted.
Metal salts that contain no carbon except as carbonate/bicarbonate.
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
