Lab Activity: Flame Test
Flame Test - Electrons, LightThis is a much easier way to do the flame test lab experiment. Usually most experiments have you use a nichrome wire and acid cleaning each time a new test is to be completed. With my method, it will take you only half as much time to complete the lab. This lab includes background information that discusses the usages of the flame test, how electrons emit colored light, and explains the difference between the ground state and excited state of an atom.Included:•Bac
