The flame test is a qualitative test used in chemistry to help determine the identity or possible identity of a metal or metalloid ion found in an ionic compound. If the compound is placed in the flame of a gas burner, there may be a characteristic color given off that is visible to the naked eye. And for the proof. The flame test provided evidence that specific atoms are present in compounds by the color of the flame. The metal atoms are what is responsible for the colors during the flame test. The color of the flame will be yellow-orange because Sodium (Na) is present in all the compounds that have a yellow-orange flame. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
