Well like with any flame, the lighter the flame, the higher the temperature of the flame. If the flam is burning Yellow, it is at a higher temperature and is burning more oxygen than an orange flame is. That is your difference other than the color.
Sodium ions give a bright yellow flame color during a flame test.
The colors of fire can range from red, orange, and yellow to blue and white, depending on the temperature of the flame. A cooler flame will appear yellow or orange, while a hotter flame will appear blue or white. Other colors, such as green and purple, can also be seen in certain conditions.
The temperature of an orange flame on a Bunsen burner is typically around 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,010 degrees Fahrenheit). The color of the flame is an indication of the temperature, with blue flames being hotter than yellow or orange flames.
Manganese (II) Chloride - pale yellow-green strontium chloride - red sodium chloride - bright yellow-orange lithium chloride - red copper (II) chloride - bright green calcium chloride - yellow-red boric acid - nothing
It depends on the conentration, did a test today with several nitrates (incl. lead nitrate) and they were all yellow/orange...
the blue flame is hoter than the yellow flame.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame hope this gives u the right picture
The color that is produced is orange
sodium gives off an orange to yellow flame colour
Sodium ions give a bright yellow flame color during a flame test.
You get and orange - yellow colour.
The coolest flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow-orange flame - approx. 300 0C.

The flame color of sodium sulfate is yellow. Sodium ions emit a yellow flame when heated in a flame test due to the presence of sodium in the compound.
A blue flame is typically indicative of complete combustion, where the fuel is burning efficiently with sufficient oxygen. In contrast, a yellow flame is a sign of incomplete combustion, suggesting that there is not enough oxygen for the fuel to burn completely, leading to the production of soot and potentially harmful byproducts.
When sodium ions are sprayed over a flame, they impart a yellow-orange color to the flame due to excitation of the sodium atoms. This phenomenon is used in flame testing to identify the presence of sodium in a sample.
As a matrerial burns the flame represents the temperature within the fire.
