Homework Statement
Checking the before and after of ions of various elements for the flame test.
Homework Equations
None really.
The Attempt at a Solution
I looked online for the elements but am not sure the data is correct/accurate enough.
So far I have:
Ion-Before-After
Aluminum-Grey/clear-No color, more or less, or white
Ammonium-White cloud/Clear-No color
Barium-Silver/White cloud-Green (apple green)
Calcium-Clear/Silver/White cloud-Brick red/orange/yellow-orange
Cobalt (II)-Red-Pink/Blue
Copper (II)-Turquoise-Blue/Turquoise
Iron (III)-Orange-brown/Yellow/Pale purple-Gold
Lithium-Clear-Crimson red
Manganese (II)-Slightly brown-Yellowish green/silver/no color
Potassium-Clear-Violet/Purple
Sodium-Clear-Yellow/Yellow-orange
Zinc-Clear/Slightly brown-Bluish green
I would like the data to be verified, or at least part of it, particularly the before colors that are white/clear
