Flame tests rely on the unique electron configurations of each and every element in order to identify them. When in compounds as these elements often are, they exist in the form known as an ion. A metal ion exists when the atom releases its valence electrons to bond with a non-metal atom...
To carry out the flame tests, a small amount of the compound being tested will be held in a flame and the colour given off observed. This colour originates from the movement of electrons in the metal ion. When heated, the electrons gain energy, and are ‘excited’ into higher energy lev...

If a glass rod was heated in a burner flame and gave off a bright yellow flame, what metal ion predominates in the glass rod? A water sample is suspected to be contaminated by Hg (II) ions. How could you determine if the sample is really contaminated?
SulphurThe well known interference from metal ions on disulphur emission in flames was investigated. Sulphite was introduced by flow-injection through a cation-exchange column into a hydrogen-nitrogen diffusion flame. The effects of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, nickel and copper ions were ...
In the evaluation of metal ion competition for complex formation with N10O in binary systems, batch adsorption tests were conducted employing equal molarities (0.137 mmol) of the two metal ions at a constant pH value. These divalent metal cations which had the high- est N10O uptakes were ...
Electrochemical methods, especially stripping and cyclic voltammetry, are commonly used methods for detection, while adsorption and ion exchange methods are quite effective for removal. and Cd2+onto activated carbon produced from municipal organic solid waste. Desalin Water Treat 60:310–318...

thus promote the activation of C-H bond towards methane combusion by more than 50 folds. DFT calcuation combined with control exmperiment revealed that the coordinaion of H+, generated from water dissociation on the catalyst surface, at the Pt-O-Fe interface elongated the Pt-O bond and we...
The indicator paper was impregnated with precipitates of dithizonates of metals that can be replaced by the test ion. The analytical ranges were 0.05-500 mg/L for zinc, 0.1-500 mg/L for cadmium and mercury, and 0.5-500 mg/L for silver and cyanides. The selectivity of the test method ...
