Identifying Metal and Non-Metal Ions: Tests and Outcomes

This is a tutorial video on the required practical activities for identifying positive metal ions or negative non-metal ions in a solution in chemistry. The video explains the tests that need to be carried out and the expected outcomes for particular ions. The video discusses tests for positive metal ions or cations such as the flame test and the sodium hydroxide test. Similarly, the video explains tests for negative ions such as the carbonate test, halide test, and sulfate test in detail. The video also mentions the observations to be made, such as the color of the flame produced, color of the precipitate formed, and the presence of bubbles, to identify particular ions.
