Chem help!!!!!!!(need answer soon)?

Question

WHY DO DIFFERENT ELEMENTS BURN DIFFERENT COLORS< PLEEZ B AS DETAILED AS POSIBLE, WILE I CAN STILL UNDERSTAND

for: 9TH GRADE CHEM CLASS

c'mon people, i need this soon, thankyou soo much

please i need more info

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(((((( I really need an answer, i cant find it anywhere,

Thanks so much

pleez help me

Answer 1

Have Patience!

The flame is exciting an electron in the atomic electron configuration into a higher orbit. As it cools and falls back to its original position, a photon of light is emitted. Since each element has a defined and unique electronic configuration, the wave length of light that is emitted during this process is also unique. This leads to the different colours associated with the different elements. In this way, astronomers study stars to learn what elements are present.

Answer 2

becouse each element have deffernt orpite energy so when it burn the electrons move from one orpet to anther , the defrence between thous orpits prduce defreint energy amation which mean defrent color

Answer 3

i just did this is class...
each element give off different colors because they each have a different light emission spectrum. because the electron configuration of each element is unique when it is put in fire electrons move to different excited states and also give off different wavelengths of light (the wavelength determines the color) because no two elements are alike no two of them are going to give off the same wavelength.

Answer 4

not sure why. probably because of the different porperties that each element has when its lighted( burned).??
i'd try looking it up on a search engine or some science website.
