Fun with flame and colours

   If your a science student then you can have real fun in the chemistry lab of your college and amaze your friends with this easy trick.

   The magic is that you can alter the Bunsen Burner flame to different colors from simple compounds that would be easily available in your Lab.




   All u need to do is place the below mentioned elements on your Bunsen Burner and ignite it.

                              Element                                                           Flame Color

                              Lithium (Li)                                                     Red
                              Sodium (Na)                                                    Strong Persistent Orange
                              Potassium (K)                                                  Lilac (Pink)
                              Rubidium (Rb)                                                 Reddish-Violet
                              Cesium (Cs)                                                     Blue-Violet
                              Calcium (Ca)                                                   Orange-Red
                              Barium (Ba)                                                     Pale Green
                              Copper (Cu)                                                     Blue-Green
                              Lead (Pb)                                                         Grayish-White


  I hope that you guys have fun amazing your friends with this simple trick that they might not know.

  1. will the bunsen flame continously give out flame of that colour or is it for just a short period of time?

  2. Yes it will until and unless all the element place has ignited itself and vanished
