The energy of the color light increases in order of red yellow green blue and violet list of metal ions in increasing order of energy of light emitted

Flame test:

The metals ions can be detected through the flame test. Different ions gives different colors when heated on flame. Tom perform the flame test following steps should follow:

1. Dip a wire loop in the solution of compound which is going to be tested.

2. After dipping put the loop of wire on bunsen burner flame.

3. Observe the color of flame.

4. Record the flame color produce by compound

Color produce by metals:

Red = Lithium, zirconium, strontium, mercury, Rubidium (red violet)

Orange-red = calcium

Yellow = sodium, iron (brownish yellow)

Green = green

Blue = cesium. arsenic, copper, tantalum, indium, lead

Violet = potassium (lilac)
