Flame Test: Metal Ion Colors (2D)

Interactive 2D flame test bench: dip a wire loop of metal salt into a Bunsen flame and watch its real characteristic emission color and wavelength appear, from lithium crimson to barium green.

Dip a nichrome wire loop of metal salt into a Bunsen burner flame and watch it burn with the metal's real characteristic emission color — the same qualitative test chemists use to identify an unknown metal ion by eye, and the same electron-transition physics that colors fireworks and stellar spectra.
