Answer 1

Flame test

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many tests are present to identify the ions. It is very important before going to perform any test you must know all the information bout it.

Flame test:

2. After dipping put the loop of wire on bunsen burner flame.
3. Observe the color of flame.
4. Record the flame color produce by compound

Colors produce by ions of some metals:

calcium (Ca+2) orange-red

lithium (Li+) red

potassium (K+) Lilac

copper ( Cu+2) blue-green

sodium (Na+) yellow
