I enjoyed the Flame Test so much because it seemed almost magical! It left me in awe during the process of the experiment. The flame test turned out well because we saw different colors of the flame. There was a tube on the top of the bunsen burner and colorful flames would come out of the tube. The colors changed when we placed the substance over the flame. There were some curiosities that I developed while I saw the experiment being presented. I questioned myself why the flame turned colors? That was so rad. Another question that I had was what other substances we could use to change the color scheme. I didn’t do any further investigation into the science behind things but now I am curious how the flames changed colors. Why did that happen? With this in mind I will do some research to find out more about how this happens.This happens because each element has a different electron configuration. When you add energy such as heat the electron moves to a new orbit and energy with a specific wavelength is released. This wavelength determines a specific color. The results we achieved were good because we were able to follow the correct process and I think that I assisted successfully while we performed the activity.
I worked with the rest of the class on this lab during the experiment. and I think our group did a good job because we an interest in the activity. I was very happy to contribute to the group by being a good observer and paid attention. If I could do this again I would attempt to volunteer to do the activity rather than being the observer. I would experiment with other chemicals and see what the reactions would be during the process of the activity. I would work with bijan and mayra if I were able to do this lab again because we communicate with each other great and we work well together. The beauty of this experiment was looking at the different reactions the chemicals have on the flame. Next time i would love to experiment with other chemicals.
