Alkali metals impart colour to Bunsen flame due to

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkali metals have low ionization enthalpies . Their valence electrons easily absorb energy from the flame and are excited to higher energy levels . When these excited to higher energy levels . When these excited electrons return to the ground state , the absorbed energy is emitted in form of light .
