This is my first one and im kind of reluctant about what to add. This is for a flame test lab, any advice or guidance would help


Chemists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, like Robert Wilhelm Bunsen, helped develop the first flame tests, which are used to identify the colors of different elements (Bunsen-Robert Wilhelm). Sodium salts, for example, give a brilliant red flame. These flame colors result from the electron structures of atoms of the specific elements. The colors of fireworks are attributable to specific elements. Brilliant reds are produced by strontium compounds, whereas barium compounds give yellow-green, sodium compounds yield yellow, and copper salts produce a greenish blue. (textbook)
