1. Flame Spectroscopy The method uses flame excitation
Atoms are exited from the heat of the flame to emit light
Exited atoms glow, emitting light at various wavelengths (therefore varies colors)
Colors are detected by spectrophotometer which measures light intensity as a function of wavelength

2. F2Cl36H2O Spectra Mixed results
Trial 2 and 3 show a more continuous spectrum indicating a black body while trial 1 was continuous with a large spike (?)
Not really burning but absorbing the heat and melting quickly
Emitted a red orange color while heated

3. NaCl Spectra Absorbed the heat not really burning, but melting
Produced single spike around 590nm
Emitted orangish color while heated
Single spike, not continuous so not a black body

4. Mg Spectrum Best results of the sources
Mg actually burned, and was a self sustained burn, emitting bright white light
Spikes are due to atomic emission
Mostly continuous meaning black body

5. LiCl Spectra Again not really burned but melted
Emitted beautiful, very bright pinkish red color which shows up as the spike at about 670nm
Not continuous therefore not a black body
