Question

Name the following

A metal that gives brick red flame.

Answer 1

1. Metals are the elements that have the tendency to lose electrons thereby acquiring a positive charge.
2. The element that shows colour to a flame when they lose electrons present in its valence shell thereby forming a positively charged ion.
3. Calcium$\mathbf{\left(}\mathit{C}\mathit{a}\mathbf{\right)}$ gives a brick red-coloured flame by the loss of electrons present in its valence shell.

So a metal that gives brick red flame is calcium, $\mathbf{\left(}\mathit{C}\mathit{a}\mathbf{\right)}$.
