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.
yellow Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.
orange I disagree - calcium burns Red I disagree with you're answer^ whoever said red... while it is true that calcium burns red, we are talking about a binary compound, not a single element. calcium chloride burns orange. You are being too general. Calcium Chloride burns a deep orange with a slightly lighter orange core. Just saying orange is not enough. Just tried it in my lab - the main color is Red -sorry It depends on the purity of the salt and the amount of organic particles present.
Chlorine gas itself does not emit a colored flame when subjected to a flame test. Instead, it will impart a green color to the flame when a sample containing chlorine (such as a chloride compound) is included in the flame test.
The colour of any sample containing copper ions burns with a bluish green flame in the flame test.
Magnesium does not produce a color in the flame test because it emits ultraviolet light that is not visible to the human eye. The energy emitted by magnesium when heated is at a wavelength that is outside the visible spectrum, so it does not result in a characteristic color.
When aluminum is subjected to a flame test, it does not produce a distinct color flame. This is because aluminum does not have any characteristic flame color associated with it, unlike other elements that produce specific colors when heated.
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
When burned, potassium produces a lilac or light purple flame, while calcium produces an orange-red flame. These distinct colors can be used to identify the presence of these elements in a flame test. The differing colors are due to the specific wavelengths of light emitted when the excited electrons in these elements return to their ground state.
Calcium typically produces an orange-red flame when subjected to a flame test.
Its like Mg, it has no colour. So bright light
calcium chloride burns with a orange flame.
To know which pairs of ions produce similar colors in the flame test it is important to know what the pairs of ions are. Without knowing this a person will not be able to know which would produce similar colors in the 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.
When calcium chloride is subjected to a flame test, it produces an orange-red flame. This color is due to the presence of calcium in the compound, which emits that specific wavelength of light when heated.
I suppose that the flame test was not applied to californium.
well , the colour of potassium chloride is a lilac colour :) hope this helps
