The heat of the flame excites the metals ions, causing them to emit visible light. The characteristic emission spectra can be used to differentiate between some elements.
SO the characteristic emission spectra of Barium contains wavelengths corresponding to green color.

In a flame test what color flame will barium chloride have?
Barium chloride, or any other barium salt, should burn with a green flame. When a barium salt is burned, the thermal energy is transferred to the outer electrons of the barium ions. They gain enough energy to excite them to a higher energy level. They then drop back to their ground state, releasing energy. This energy corresponds to a wavelength of light, which is emitted from the ion. This wavelength corresponds to green light, hence the green flame observed.
What colour does just chlorine turn in the flame test?
Chlorine burns green in the flame test, bottle green to be exact.
What color flame test is sodium flouride?
green
What color does copper nitrate burn in a flame test?
The colour of any sample containing copper ions burns with a bluish green flame in the flame test.
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.
How do you test for the presence of barium ion?
A simple qualitative test is the flame test: barium has a pale/apple green color.

What color flame do you get when burn iron?
The color of barium in the flame test is pale-apple green.
Do only s-block elements give flame test?
No, many elements outside the s-block will also give a flame test.Here are a few examples.Some d-block elements include:Copper (blue-green flame)Manganese (yellowish green flame)Zinc (blue-green flame)Some p-block elements include:Lead (blue flame)Thallium (green flame)Selenium (azure flame)
What metal burns with a blue flame?
In qualitative analysis, flame tests are used in confirming what kind of metal is present in a solution. The green flame or bluish-green flame color is usually present whenever copper metal is present in a solution.
What colour does just chlorine turn in the flame test?
Chlorine burns green in the flame test, bottle green to be exact.
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 is the color of the flame of boric acid?
The flame color of boron in the flame test is bright green.
I woke up this morning with a solution next to my bed and assumed it was a cationic solution and added some HCl to it which didn't produce a precipitate and flame test was pale green so what is in it?
My friend, it would appear you have a solution containing barium ions. If you would like add some sulfuric acid to precipitate the barium as barium sulfate.
What is the color of boric acid?
The flame color of boron in the flame test is bright green.
What color flame test is sodium flouride?
green
What color is the flame test for nickel?
Light green
