A heated solid element that does not change state, has molecular bonds that "flex", and electrons that emit light similar to a black body radiation. A solid heated to become a liquid, has molecular bonds that alter significantly, and the liquid starts to show stronger emission lines corresponding to the orbitals of the element itself, as well as some component of black body emission. A liquid heated to a gas shows strong elemental emission lines, with intensities of the various characteristic frequencies approximating the black body curve. A gas that is heated into plasma (assuming that is what you mean by flames), one or more electrons are lost from their orbitals, and drift free between charged nucleii. The "missing normal mass" in the Universe has been located and it is drifting between galaxies. It is oxygen with 5 missing electrons, based on its absorption / emission lines... which is a very hot gas. The "flame" or glow one exepcts comes from recombination (electrons entering orbitals), and this does not happen in deep space.

Robert Bunsen, a German chemist, is known for discovering the elements cesium and rubidium in 1860 by using spectroscopic analysis. These elements were identified using the characteristic spectral lines emitted by their atoms when heated in a Bunsen burner flame.

What happens if NaCl is heated to long?

If you heat NaCl to 801 degrees C, it will melt and if heated to 1413 degrees C, it will boil. You can definitely melt salt in a Bunsen burner flame in one class period, but heating it to boiling would take some time.

What compound does not decompose when it is heated with a Bunsen burner?

Silicon dioxide (SiO2), commonly known as quartz, does not decompose when heated with a Bunsen burner. This is because SiO2 has a very high melting point, around 1,710°C, which is above the typical temperature of a Bunsen burner flame. Instead of decomposing, it stays solid and retains its structure.


Which elements may be excited using a Bunsen burner flame?

Metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and copper can be excited using a Bunsen burner flame to emit characteristic colors. This technique is commonly used in flame tests to identify different elements based on the color of light they emit when heated.
