Flame Test Lab Introduction/Purpose: When a certain amount of energy is supplied within an atom‚ the electrons of that atom begin to move up the levels of electron configuration. This level of energy is called a quantum. The object of this experiment was to examine the movement of electrons up and down energy levels through the use of given elemental substances. With heat supplying a large amount of energy‚ the properties of the elements caused them to give off a certain color or tone of

Lab 1: Flame Test 11 Chemistry‚ university Preparation Conducted: September 20th‚ 2010 Purpose: To observe‚ and create a chart of the colours produced when solutions of known metal compounds are heated to high temperature. Question: What colours are produced when different metallic compounds are placed in a flame‚ and why this happens? Hypothesis/Prediction: Different salts will produce different colours when placed in a flame‚ due to the fact that each element has a different

Timothy Johns Christian Howard Wan Huang 10/18/12 Flame Test Lab Introduction Spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by atoms and molecules. These studies are very helpful in determining an unknown element‚ given the fact that all elements burn a different color. The flame colors vary because of the different amounts of energy the elements give off. This lab is made for the learner to determine the identity of two unknown elements. Hypothesis If

A metal is a solid material which is either an element‚ a compound or an alloy. Metals share some common properties like being typically hard and shiny‚ and that metals are good electrical and thermal conductors. They are generally malleable‚ fusible and ductile. In a periodic table of elements‚ there are six groups of metals and two of them are the most common. It is the Alkali Metals and the Alkaline Earth Metals. Alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements. They are similarly shiny‚ soft

Laboratory Report: Flame Colors of Metals Abstract The experiment about flame color of metals demonstrates how electrons jump into their excitedstate from their ground state as it came in contact with heat. As it return to its lower energy state‚it emits the absorbed energy in the form of light. A platinum or nichrome wire was dipped into aconcentrated HCL and was heated to clean it. The wire was dipped into different salt solutionsand heated in order to determine the metallic ion’s color and wavelength

ACTIVITY FLAME TEST Summary The purpose of this lab was to see how different compounds can change color while in a flame and with this color‚ I can identify the compound. The test involve putting sample element and see what color appears. Also Thermal excited electron goes from low to high energy level which raises the color but when the excitation ends electron gets to lower level which makes the color back to normal. In order to determine the identity of several unknowns‚ I will perform flame tests
