part B.
would you expect the emissions to vary if metal flourides were used rather than metal chlorides?
Answered by DrBob222
Not really. In flame emissions, it's the metal that is excited, not Cl or F ions.
Answered by Nicki
No, because it's the valence electrons on the metals that take/release energy in the form of visible emissions, not the chloride or fluoride ions.
