ColumnIColumnII(A). Cs(6).Blue(B). Na (4).Yellow(C). K(2).Violet(D). Ca (3).Brick red(E). Sr (5).Crimson red(F). Ba (1).Apple green.


Flame colours are produced from the movement fo the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. These movements of electrons (electronic excitation de- excitation) requires energy
Each atom has a particular energy gap between the ground and excited energy level, therefore, each of these movement involves a specific amount of energy emitted as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular colour . As we know the energy gap between the ground and excited state energy level increases wavelength fo decreases and the complemently colour is observed as a result.
