Question

A forensic chemist performs a flame test on a substance found at a crime scene. What can the scientist conclude it the sample produces a green flame?

Answer 1

are there any other details or answer choices?

if not, your best bet is looking up a flame test guide and seeing which ions match up with a green flame

Answer 3

There are no details/answer choices, @Vocaloid.
This is actually a lab test that they have to do and this question is one for drawing conclusions.
With the given materials, they're allowed to test each substances with a bunsen burner.

The given substances are listed here with each explanation:

Calcium chloride:Some calcium ions (calcium atoms with two electrons missing) can vaporize into the flame, tinting it bright orange. For a time, these electrons contain more energy than normal. They soon release this energy in the form of light. Calcium ions produce a bright orange to brick-red light.

Potassium chloride:Purple flames come from metal salts, such as potassium.

Boric acid:Boric acid imparts a pale green color to a flame. A very pale green color is imparted to the flame by boron in boric acid. A few tinges of yellow-orange sodium color appear as a consequence of traces of sodium impurity in the boric acid solution.

Copper(II) sulfate:Copper(I) salts produce a blue flame test result. If there is some copper(II) present, you'll get blue-green.

Sodium chloride: Creates a yellow color. This can be interpreted due to the emission of excess energy absorbed as a radiation in the visible region.
When an alkali or akaline earth metal (or its salt) is introduced in the flame, the valence electrons of the metal absorbs energy and are excited to the higher energy level. When excited electrons return to their ground state, they release the absorbed energy as visible light.
