What particles are responsible for the production of colored light?

What particles are responsible for the production of colored light?

what particles are found in the chemicals that may be responsible for the production of color light? The particles responsible for giving off colored light would be the electrons because the excitement caused by heating makes the electrons jump from ground state into a high energy level.

Why do we see colors in the flame tests?

When the atoms of a gas or vapor are excited, for instance by heating or by applying an electrical field, their electrons are able to move from their ground state to higher energy levels. This energy corresponds to particular wavelengths of light, and so produces particular colors of light.

Why do you think the chemicals have to be heated in the flame before the colored light is emitted?

Why do you think the chemicals have to be heated in the flame first before the colored light is emitted? The heat gives the electrons energy moving them to the excited state, then you take the heat off, snapping the electrons back to ground state, releasing the energy that was absorbed causing light to be emitted.

Which pairs of ions produce similar colors?

Which pairs of ions produce similar colors in the flame tests? Lithium and Strontium both produced a similar bright pink color.

Where do you see colorful light emissions?

Colorful light emissions are observed in fireworks, sunsets, sunrises, and shooting stars.

Does the color of the sodium flame depend upon the anion used why?

Can a flame test have different results using the same cation but a different anion? No. All they will show same colour,the colour ( more correctly the frequency of light) emitted depends only upon the absorption/ emission line spectrum of the element( metal) which is characteristic of the individual metal.

What is the charge for lithium?
