Introduction:
Flame test is method to identify the element (metal ions) based on Emission spectrum. The test involve putting sample of Unknown element and see what color appears. Also Thermal excited electron goes from low to high energy level which raises the color but when the excitation ends electron gets to lower level which make the color back to normal. Then compare it to flame test result of former lab but after testing it with cobalt blue glass.
Material:
1- Safety Goggles
2- 250 mL beaker
3- 500 mL beaker
4- Bunsen burner
5- Cobalt blue glass
6- Distilled water
7- Flame test wire
8- Dropper
9- Test plate with walls
10- Spectroscope
11- HCl solution
12- Unknown Solution Number 6
Procedure:
1- Small amount of HCl was added to small 250 mL beaker.
2- The Bunsen burner was lighted.
3- The flame test wire was dipped into the HCl for minute then heated by holding it in the Bunsen burner for another minute or until all the red color is gone.
4- The flame test wire was cooled and then rinsed with distilled water into 500 mL beaker.
5- Full drop of unknown solution # 6 was added to test plate.
6- The flame test wire was dipped into unknown # 6 Solutions.
7- Then the flame test wire was put to fire.
8- The procedure No. 3&4 were repeated to clean the flame test wire.
9- The flame test was dipped again in the Unknown solution # 6.
10- Blue Cobalt glass was used to test the color.
11- The flame test wire was put to fire while holding the blue cobalt glass.

What else can I help you with?
Why do flames appear the wrong color in flame test?
The color in the flame test has to do with the electrons moving from their ground state to their excited state. When the electron tries to move BACK down to the ground state (near the nucleus) it emits energy called a photon, this is how you see the light.
What can a flame test tell you about a certain compound?
No, because non metal atoms do not enter an excited state.
Why you can see a colored light from a flame test?
The colour of a flame can be used to work out which metal is present in a compound. This is called a flame test. Sodium - Yellow/orange Potassium - Lilac Lithium - Crimson Copper - Green Calcium - Orange/Red
Why not all metals emit colors in the flame test?
Not all metals emit colors in the flame test because the color emission is determined by the specific arrangement of energy levels in their electrons. Only metals with electrons that can be easily excited to higher energy levels and then return to their ground state by emitting light will produce a visible color in the flame test. Metals with a more complex energy level structure may not emit visible light during the test.
What is happening in flame test lab?
In a flame test lab, various metal ions are tested by placing a small sample of the compound in a flame, which produces a characteristic color. This color is due to the electrons in the metal ion moving to higher energy levels and then back down to their ground state, emitting light of a specific wavelength. By observing the color produced, one can identify the metal ion present in the compound.
What happens a flame test?
Electrons are excited to higher energy levels and their emissions are observed.
Is the flame test for the metal or for the chlorine?
The flame test is for the metal. When a metal is heated in a flame, electrons in the metal atoms become excited and jump to higher energy levels, emitting characteristic colors of light. This helps identify the metal present.
Why sodium give a flame test?
When ignited, sodium atoms absorb energy and become excited. As they return to their ground state, they release this energy in the form of light. The characteristic yellow-orange color seen in the flame test for sodium is due to this process.
What color does the copper burn in flame test?
When copper is heated in a flame, it burns with a blue-green flame. The color is due to the emission of energy in the form of light as electrons in the copper atoms are excited and then return to their ground state.
What element in the flame test was excited using a Bunsen burner?
Examples: Na, K, Li, Cs, Ba, Ca, etc.

Why does sodium give yellow color in the flame test?
Sodium gives a yellow color in the flame test because when it is heated, the electrons in the sodium atoms are excited to higher energy levels. When these electrons fall back to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, and for sodium atoms, this energy corresponds to a yellow color.
What can a flame test tell you about a certain compound?
No, because non metal atoms do not enter an excited state.
Why does lithium chloride turn pink over a flame?
Lithium chloride turns pink over a flame due to the presence of lithium ions. When exposed to high temperatures, the electrons in the lithium ions become excited and jump to higher energy levels. As these electrons fall back to their original energy levels, they emit light in the form of a pink color.

Why do different metals exhibit unique flame test colors?
Different metals exhibit unique flame test colors because when they are heated in a flame, the electrons in their atoms become excited and jump to higher energy levels. When these electrons return to their original energy levels, they emit light of specific wavelengths, which correspond to different colors. Each metal has a unique arrangement of electrons in its atoms, leading to distinct flame test colors.
Why do ions have different colors in a flame test?
When a metallic ion is heated in a flame test, the heat (energy) causes an electron to be exicted to a higher energy state. When this electron returns to a lower energy state, energy is emitted as visible light. Depending on how much energy is released when the electron returns from the higher to lower energy state will determine what color the flame will be.
