Can we identify different elements based in the color of the flame that they produce in

the flame test ?

What is a flame test and how can it be used ?
Hypothesis : We are going to able to identify the kind of the element just looking for its flames
color
Material: Procedure:
.burner striker 1- put on safety goggles
.safety goggles 2-put on the gloves
.beaker ( with water) 3-turn on the burne ( just one turn is enough )
.splint 4- turn on the gas
.gloves 5-make the tests
.6 solutions 6-turn of the burner
7-turn of the gas
8-clean the place
9-wash your hands

Elements Color Picture

CaCl2 ( Calcium Chloride) orange

CuCl2 (Copper Chloride) green

KCl (Potassium Chloride) violet

NaCl (Sodium Chloride) yellow

SrCL2( Strontium Chloride) red

 Unknown green

The flame of the CaCl2 results in a orange color, the CuCl2 in a green one, KCl2 in Violet, NaCl2
in yellow, and SrCl2 in
red and the Unknown in green.
Based on that I believe the Unknown one is CuCl2, we can discover it by looking to the color
(green) of the flame. The hypothesis was correct.

On the CaCl2 we
have Ca with atomic number equal to 20 and it is a Alkaline Earth Metal, in the
same place of the periodic table we also have Sr in SrCl2 with atomic number equal to 38 and
both of them have similar colors ( orange and red), I believe that happened exactly because of
their spot in the periodic table.
In the Alkali Metals section we have Na from NaCl2 ( atomic number =11) and K from KCl2 (19)
and their colors are light violet and yellow also similars.
The solitaire one is the Cu from CuCl2 which is in the Transition Metals section and its color is
green, the same of the Unknown
