  2. Orange
  3. Yellow 
  4. Red 

hintHint:

Sodium gives yellow.

The correct answer is: Yellow 


    • A flame test is an analytical procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain elements, primarily metal ions, based on each element's characteristic emission spectrum.
    • Different alkaline metals give different colors in the flame.
    • Sodium gives yellow color in the flame.
