    Flame Test Lab Analysis and Conclusion

    Uploaded by

    The student performed a flame test lab to identify an unknown metal ion. They analyzed their results by explaining that the metal ions emit colored light when heated because electrons move to higher energy levels and then fall back down, releasing photons of specific wavelengths and frequencies that correspond to colors. Different metal ions produce different colored lights because the electrons fall to different ground states, emitting photons of different energies. In their conclusion, the student summarized the purpose of identifying the metal ion through its emission spectrum, described their results and sources of possible error, and stated what they learned about flame tests from the lab.
