Answer:
The nichrome wire is dirty.
The solution is contaminated.
Explanation:
If the nichrome wire is dirty, it may contain sodium contaminants which may be responsible for the yellow flame. The nichrome wire is first inserted into the flame without the sample to check for impurities.
The test solution may also have been contaminated. This leads to the appearance of a colour different from the expected colour of the test cation in the solution.
2n² rule:
This rule is used to determine number of electrons in particular shell.
n=1 means K shell
n=2 means L shell
n=3 means M shell
n=4means N shell
The first K shell can hold upto 2 electrons, L shell can hold up to 8, third M shell can hold up to 18and the fourth N shell can hold upto 32 electrons. This rule of arrangement of electrons according to the shell is known 2n2 rule where n means number of shell.
For example: There is one proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atom, which moves in K shell path. It has no neutron.
The color violet has the highest frequency
