Energy from the fire temporarily promotes some of the electrons in atoms to higher energy levels. When they fall back down to the ground state, and this emits light of characteristic frequencies ... in the case of sodium, two of the most prominent lines are in the yellow-orange region of the spectrum.
sodium salts
Produces yellow Lead(II) iodide and Sodium nitrate
You put out a sodium fire by depriving it of oxygen
Yellow Yellow
sodium is a vomit colour with bits of grass mixed through
Na (Sodium)
Sodium
Sodium colours the fire bright yellow; Lithium - red; Calcium - dark red; Copper - green, blue-green; Potassium - blue; Magnesium - white
Fire+electric+salt gives you sodium AND chloride!
Fire+electric+salt gives you sodium AND chloride!
Strong yellow
sodium salts
The cobalt glass blocks distracting and common yellow fire, it serves as an optical filter in flame tests, to filter the yellow flame cause by contamination of sodium
An yellow color, from sodium
because sodium burns yellow
Fire can be made yellow by using a fuel with a low ignition point. If the flame is kept at a relatively low temperature it will burn yellow.
Sodium ions will glow yellow in the presence of a flame.
