What happens to an ionic compound during a flame test?

Answer 1

Yes, Ionic compound can be burn when it's heated. But, it's happens in a rare case. Because,Compounds should contain carbon and hydrogen for burn. Both carbon and hydrogen are rarely present to the ionic compound. So, Ionic compound can e burn when heated in a rare case.

Answer 2

During a flame test, an ionic compound absorbs energy from the flame and then emits that energy as light. This characteristic color of light given off during the flame test is unique to each element present in the compound, allowing for identification of the elements.

Answer 3

not a whole lot will happen at all, it may change colour but that is about it...
