Fill the test tubes with 5-10 drops of each metal ion solution.
Dip a wire loop into a metal ion solution (or remove a pre-soaked wood splint).
Hold the wire loop in the Bunsen burner flame and observe the color of the flame
Record your observations in the data table. If using wood splints avoid catching them
on fire.
Be sure the loop is clean for the next sample (no more flame color)
Option: Watch the flame through a diffraction grading slide to see the bright-line
emission spectrum.

Follow-up Question

Analysis:

What is an ion?
Describe what happens to the electrons in an atom when they absorb energy (from the flame)? Why does this produce a bright-line emission spectrum (rather than a continuous spectrum)?
In terms of atomic structure, why does each metal ion produce a different color flame?
What difficulties are there in identifying metal ions with a flame test? How could you improve the specific identification of the metal ions during a flame test?
If it can be determined from the flame test results, what are the identities of the two unknown liquids?
What might be some practical (and exciting) applications of metal containing compounds that create different colors of light while burning? Explain.
