Potassium
Potassium burns with a purple flame.
In a flame test, the color released by potassium is lilac, which is a light purple. K is the symbol for the chemical element potassium, and its atomic number is 19.
The color of the light emitted by an element heated within a flame is a physical characteristic, but this particular physical characteristic is itself determined by a chemical characteristic: the distribution of electron energy levels within the element.
Boron is the element that gives a green flame when it is heated.
The emission spectrum of an element
When you see a violet-purple flame, it often indicates the presence of potassium compounds, such as potassium chloride or potassium nitrate. The specific element responsible for the color is potassium.
hydrogen color flame test is purple due to the acids and element combinationa
The flame of potassium iodide is typically violet or purple in color.
Potassium although sometimes it can look purple
Flame tests are called elemental fingerprints because the colors produced when different elements are heated in a flame are unique to each element. By observing the color of the flame, one can identify the presence of specific elements based on the characteristic color they emit. This unique color pattern serves as a distinct "fingerprint" for each element.
A calcium flame is typically a red-orange color, while a lithium flame is a bright red color. The difference in color is due to the specific wavelengths of light emitted by each element when they are heated in a flame.
Copper is the element responsible for the green flame produced in the Beilstein test. When a copper compound is heated in the presence of a flame, it emits a green color due to the presence of copper ions.
