Its electrons are excited to a higher energy state in the flame, and then they immediately release that energy, which is visible as yellow light.

When sodium is heated in flame it will give?
Flame tests are often used to identify metals and other substances, such as sodium. If you expose the element sodium to flame, it will give off a bright, vibrant yellow color.
What colour flame test do sodium sulphate and potassium chloride give?
well , the colour of potassium chloride is a lilac colour :) hope this helps
How do you check the presence of sodium in different in different compounds?
You can do a flame test. Sodium will make the flame turn an intense yellow. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test
What element often causes difficulties interpreting a flame test?
Sodium(Na)?
Does Copper Chloride produce a blue-green or Red flame?
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.
What color flame test does sodium nitrate give?
All sodium salts will give a yellow flame test, because of the metal sodium in the compounds.
What color does sodium hydroxide burn in a flame test?
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
What color flame test does sodium fluoride give?
Pink
What color flame test does sodium chloride give?
Sodium chloride (salt) gives a yellow-orange flame result.
What color flame test does sodium give through cobalt glass?
None.
What is the flame color of the compound sodium chloride when heated?
No, sodium chloride is a very stable compound
What color flame test does the iodide solution give in flame test?
It is not the anions (e.g. iodide) that are responsible for the flame test color, rather the cations such as sodium ion, potassium ion and calcium ion give you different colors.
How do you test for sodium ions and potassium ions when both are present?
Get a wire. Bend it into a ring and put a few crystals of your solid on it. Do a flame test using a Bunsen burner. Potassium will give a violet flame and Sodium ions will give a Yellow flame.
Why does sodium give yellow color in the flame test?
There would be electron transitions in sodium atoms while the flame test. The majority of them would emit photons which would have same energy and frequency corresponding to yellow color.
Can you do a flame test with NaCl in solid form or sodium chloride as an aqueous solution?
It is recommended to use the sodium chloride solution; the color in the flame test is yellow.
Why is it difficult to identify potassium ions and sodium ions in low sodium salt using a flame test?
When sodium is subjected to a flame test, it burns a bright yellow. This yellow flame can be brighter than the lilac flame color of the potassium, which makes it more difficult to distinguish between the sodium and potassium.
What color flame test is sodium flouride?
green
