Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: A → II, B → I, C → IV, D → III
Solution
The colour seen in a flame comes from valence electrons that are excited to higher levels in the heat and then fall back, emitting light of a characteristic wavelength. Potassium gives a violet flame, calcium a brick-red flame, strontium a crimson-red flame and barium an apple-green flame. Matching accordingly, potassium pairs with violet, calcium with brick red, strontium with crimson red and barium with apple green.
