The flame colours of metal ions are due to
- A Frenkel defect
- B Schottky defect
- C metal deficiency defect
- D metal excess defect
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) metal excess defect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The flame colours of metal ions are due to metal excess defect. The free electrons can be exited to higher energy levels giving absorption spectra and as a consequence their compounds are coloured.
