[[File:FlameEmissionSpectroscopy.png|right|300px|thumb|The [[Line SpectrumEmission Spectra|line spectra]] from the '''flame emission spectroscopy''' of several [[metal]]s.]]'''Flame emission spectroscopy''' is a technique for identifying [[metal]]s in a [[Metal Compound|metal ]] [[compound]].

: When [[White Light|white light]] passes through a [[Spectroscope]] the colours are split into a [[spectrum]] (the rainbow). When [[Metal Compound|metal compounds]] burn they only produce certain colours so when this [[light]] is passed through a [[spectroscope]] in '''flame emission spectroscopy''' it produces very specific lines called a '[[Emission Spectra|Line Spectrum]]' instead of the broad [[spectrum]] seen from [[White Light|white light]].: [[Metal]]s in a [[Metal Compound|metal ]] [[compound]] can be identified by comparing it to the [[Line SpectrumEmission Spectra|line spectra]] of known [[metal]]s. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945571/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945571&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=9e29fad914244909903e5e93f8a01d126 ''Flame emission spectroscopy, page 90, GCSE Chemistry; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851346/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851346&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=3ac654f4b0da781c49c855a1af4c92ea ''Flame emission spectroscopy, pages 214-15, GCSE Chemistry, Hodder, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945962/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945962&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=476bb5c8d1dfb5c08ac81b6d4d1c98d8 ''Flame emission spectroscopy, pages 262, 263, GCSE Chemistry, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0008158762/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0008158762&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=a0fffa35b3ea49a63404f6704e0df7cc ''Flame emission spectroscopy, pages 263, 284-5, GCSE Chemistry; Student Book, Collins, AQA '']
