bead test


bead test

n. A test to identify the metal constituents of a mineral in which a bead covered with the mineral is heated in a flame and cooled to observe its characteristic color and other properties.

bead test


bead test,

test used in the identification of certain metals. Some metallic ions that cannot be identified by a flame testflame test,
test used in the identification of certain metals. It is based on the observation that light emitted by any element gives a unique spectrum when passed through a spectroscope.

 are identified by a bead test. The test can also be used to confirm the results of a flame test. The borax bead test is the most common. A small loop is formed at the end of a platinum wire. The loop is cleaned with concentrated hydrochloric acid and dipped in powdered borax, then heated in the flame of a Bunsen burner until the borax melts, forming a bead. The bead is dipped into a tiny amount of the compound to be tested and is reheated in the flame. The metal borate that is formed colors the bead. Some metals and the colors they produce in an oxidizing flame are: chromium, green; cobalt, blue; copper, blue-green; iron, yellow to brown; manganese, violet; nickel, reddish-brown. If too much of the unknown compound is used, the bead may be opaque and the color difficult to determine. A different color is often obtained in a reducing flame. Several metals may give the same color. Some metals give only colorless or gray beads. A test similar to the borax bead test is often made using microcosmic salt. Results of the bead test may be confirmed by other methods of chemical analysischemical analysis,
the study of the chemical composition and structure of substances. More broadly, it may be considered the corpus of all techniques whereby any exact chemical information is obtained.

bead test

[′bēd ‚test] (analytical chemistry) In mineral identification, a test in which borax is fused to a transparent bead, by heating in a blowpipe flame, in a small loop formed by platinum wire; when suitable minerals are melted in this bead, characteristic glassy colors are produced in an oxidizing or reducing flame and serve to identify elements.
