Answer:

When you burned the skewer tip coated with sodium chloride, you should have seen that the flame was pure yellow-orange (without any blue). This is because when the metal sodium is burned, it makes intense yellow-orange light. ... This is because when the metal copper is burned, it makes bluish-green light.

hope this helps
