blue flames are hotter
A red flame has a lower energy than a blue flame, if the color arises from the photon radiation of the flame itself due to the flame's temperature. However, some inorganic ions emit red light when introduced into blue flames, and this kind of red flame does not necessarily have a lower energy than the original blue flame.
The layers in a flame are blue red ang ywllow and orange
In a flame test the copper ions in copper chloride will produce a 'blue/green' flame. To test for metal ions, the flame colour in a flame test is indicative of the metal present. Lithium = Red Sodium = Yellow Potassium = Lilac (pale purple). There are many more flame test colours.
Blue.
Assuming we're not throwing ions into the flame and the color is due strictly to temperature, the blue flame is hotter.The problem is that flames can be different colors for reasons other than temperature. Specifically, they may contain ionized materials with strong emission lines that color the flame. Probably the easiest example to observe using ordinary household materials is sodium which gives an orangish yellow color (easily seen by dropping a few crystals of table salt into the flame of a gas stove).The reason that hotter flames are blue is that blue light is more energetic than red light. A hotter flame has more energy, and therefore generates more energetic light.
No, yellow is hotter. The progression, from least hot to hottest, goes: black-red, dark red, bright red, light red, orange, yellow, blue, white-yellow, white.
Blue and Red
Green is the most powerful, next is red, then blue.
a blue star is hotter then a red star because it is younger and thus has more energy. a good example of this is when you look at a flame on a lighter you see blue light at the bottom because blue is hottest and closest to the heat source whereas the red-orange flame at the top is farther away from the heat source and thus is not as hot as the blue.

A blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame simply because a blue flame has more oxygen to create extra energy,while red flames have less oxygen to create heat.
no it is the blue/purple part of the flame
