Did You Know?
The brilliant red color produced by strontium compounds during flame tests is the same chemical phenomenon used in red fireworks and signal flares. When heated, strontium ions emit light at characteristic wavelengths, allowing chemists to identify elements based solely on color. Flame tests like this provide students with a powerful visual reminder that each element interacts with energy in its own unique way.
