Flame of itself is yellow/white. This is white hot carbon particles. Carbon, per se, does not form ions and so cannot give a flame test colour.

What is a flame test?
Answer By exposing materials to a hot flame (from a Bunsen burner typically), the color of the flame can be used to identify the material. Certain elements give off a characteristic color when heated to high temperature. See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: flame test" to the bottom for the answer. A method of obtaining an emission spectrum from a sample
What inaccuracies may be involved in using flame tests for identification purpose?
Some flames produce very similar colors. Like one flame can look yellow and another can look slightly lighter. but they look almost identical ^^
What are three examples of qualitative?
- test of chlorine in water - test of sodium in a mixture by flame test - test of hydrogen sulphide in a gas mixture
Why do you see colors in flame tests?
When an atom is in the flame, an electron in the outer shell of that atom receives energy from the flame and jumps up to a higher shell position. This electron then falls back to is original position and in doing so emits a photon of light of a specific energy. You see this light as a color. Atoms from different elements have different numbers of electrons in their electron shells so the photons emitted as these electrons jump back are all of different energy and therefore emit light of a different color. The color of the flame in the flame test therefore helps to identify the element in the flame producing the colored light.
What element burns green in flame test?
Chromium I don't know about Chrome, maybe, but Copper definitely does and is the most well known for doing so. So I would say Copper. Copper burns blue-green in a flame test. Thallium burns bright green.
What color does chloride ion produce in flame test?
yellow Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.
What colour flame does lithium produce when it is burnt?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What color does the cloride ion produce?
Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.
Why does magnesium not produce a color in the flame test?
it does not produce a flame colour because magnesium's colour is not in the visible light spectrum therefore we can not see the colour
What color of the flame test does antimony produce?
It produces a pale green, which can be mistaken for white.
What color did you unknow produce in the flame and What is your unknow?
You are referring here to the "flame test" to identify an unknown substance by the color it produces in a flame. The test is more usefull in determining what the sample does notcontain, rather than what it does contain, since many substances will produce similar colors in a flame test.Manganese, for instance, will produce yellow-green, but so will molybdenum.Sodium will produce a bright yellow color which you have seen in sodium vapour lamps that are used along highways. Iron produces a gold color, and copper, a blue-green.There are many others.
What color flame will rubidium give off?
the color of the flame produced when you burn rubidium is tha same color OS what potassium produce-the colour violet
What is lithium's flame color?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What color is lithium's flame?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
Why do lithium produce red color when placed in flames?
The colors in the flame test depends on the specific emission lines of a chemical element.
What is the color of the flame of boric acid?
The flame color of boron in the flame test is bright green.
What is the color of lithium flame?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
