The qualitative analysis of any sample involves the following steps:
Observation of the physical characteristics, such as solid structure,
colour, density, smell, and solubility.
Chemical tests: These are of two types
Dry tests and Wet tests
Dry tests are conducted on dry samples, and include the following
observations:
y Effect of heat
y Colour and smell of the gas/vapour evolved
Wet tests are conducted on the solution of the given salt or salt

on the solution of the given sample.
During wet tests, observations are made for any change in colour,
formation of any precipitate, colour of the precipitate, etc.

The salts of representative elements (or normal elements), i.e.,
elements of groups 1, 2, (IA, IIA) and 13 to 17 (or groups IIIA to VIIA)
are colourless (except those having oxoanions of transition metals).
The salts of transition elements, i.e., salts of elements belonging to
groups 3 to 12 (or groups IB, IIB, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB and VIII) are
generally coloured.
