FLAME TEST

FLAME test only test for metal ions.....

element 唔得

Apart from testing for cations, flame test can be used to test for metal elements.

In the flame test of a metal, the metal would firstly convert to its metal oxide, which contains the metal ion. Now, the flame test is used to test for the metal oxide, which gives the same flame colour as a compound containing the metal ion.
