We did the flame tests in my chemistry class with LiCl, NaCl, and KCl. We saw that as we went down the periodic table there was a shift toward the color red. I know its electrons coming down from an exited state that cause the light to be emitted. Why is is that as we go down the periodic table the light emitted seems to be shifting to the color red?
Chemistry flame test?
