Which of the following alkaline earth metals do not impart any color to the flame?A. Ca,SrB. Mg,CaC. Be,MgD. Sr,Ba

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Relative to other group 2 elements, Be and Mg atoms are smaller in size. Thus, the electrons in Be and Mg are too strongly bound to get excited by flame. In other words, the energy required to excite electrons in Be and Mg atoms does not lie in the visible range.
