The observed colour was orange, which fit the emission spectrum. Few specks of blue were observed, this might be due to the Bunsen burner not being completely cleaned or the sodium not being completely pure. The observed colours match those of the spectrum, and can be accepted as true.
The observed colour for lithium was a dark red colour. Lithium’s emission spectrum consists of purple, blue, cyan and red. Few darker specks of blue were observed, possibly from the same substance that made the specks, when sodium was burned. The observed dark red colour fits the emission spectrum of lithium, and can therefore be accepted as true.
Potassium burned a bright pink/purple colour, which fits the emission spectrum of potassium. The spectrum contains
