Find the number of chloride(s) which do not impart color to the flame from the following :
$B e C l_{2}, S r C l_{2}, M g C l_{2}, C a C l_{2}, B a C l_{2}$

Open in App

Solution

Two chlorides $B e C l_{2}$ and $M g C l_{2}$ do not impart color to the flame due to high ionization energy of $B e$ and $M g$ which results in high excitation energy.
The chlorides $S r C l_{2}$ , $C a C l_{2}$ and $B a C l_{2}$ impart characteristic color to the flame.
