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.

What colour does just chlorine turn in the flame test?
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.
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.
