![Identification of cation - Color Test [ Salt Analysis ]](/Concept%20Panel%20Images/Image_Types_Of_Salt.jpg)
Experiment description
In this experiment, we will perform a preliminary examination of an inorganic salt by observing its color under natural light. Because transition metal cations exhibit distinct colors due to d-d electron transitions, this initial visual test allows us to immediately infer the presence or absence of specific ions before starting confirmatory chemical analysis.
