The first ionization energy for Li is 5.20 x 10^2 kJ/mol and the second ionization energy is 7.29 x 10^3 kJ/mol. Assume that your Bunsen burner reached 869 C, and that nearly all of Li atoms heated in your Bunsen burner had energies LESS then 4xRT. Explain why you would or would not expect significant ionization in the flame?

From this information, the red light emitted by the flame that you observed when LiCl was heated was likely due to:

A) what process?

B) and the transition between which energy levels?
