    The document describes a flame test experiment conducted by four students to identify two unknown samples. They found that unknown one matched potassium chloride based on producing the same shade and size of orange flame. Unknown two was lithium chloride because it produced the same bright pink flame. The document also uses a roller coaster analogy to explain how atoms absorb energy to excite electrons to higher energy levels and then emit photons of light as they fall back down.

    Flame Test

    Woot!

    Bryce Smith, Ashley Straub, Shaun Bowles, Gabby Martinez

    Data
    Unknown one matched with Potassium
    Chloride because they both produced the
    same shade of orange flame and of the
    same size.

    Unknown two was Lithium Chloride because


    they both produced the same bright pink
    flame.

    Analogy
    Roller Coaster
    When the roller coaster
    ascends, it represents the
    atom over the fire and getting
    excited, and the electrons
    move up in energy levels.

    The Roller Coaster represents


    an atom. Before it moves it is
    at ground state.

    As the coaster
    descends, it emits
    screaming as an
    electron emits
    photons of light
    when descending in
    energy levels.

    Electron

    Up in energy
    levels

    Ground State
    Back to ground
    State where
    the extra
    energy
    absorbed is
    emitted as a
    photon of light.
