Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 2.46 Ammonium ion test
Practise using flame-test colours to identify metal cations from observations, formulae and short multiple-choice options.
How this is tested
- identify Li+, Na+ and K+ from red, yellow and lilac flame colours
- link a stated flame colour to the correct ion formula,
