Why do the alkali metals and their salts impart a characteristic color to an oxidizing flame?
(N/A) The alkali metals and their salts impart a characteristic color to an oxidizing flame. This is because the heat from the flame excites the outermost orbital electron to a higher energy level. When the excited electron returns to the ground state,it emits radiation in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
