Colored Flames
Materials:
Flame coloring is also a very
good way to show how chemicals
change with subjected to heat
and how they also change the
matter around them.These
packages of flame colorants are
tosed into the campfire. Although
these chemicals are very
effective at imparting their color
to an alredy existing flame these
substances are not flammable by
themselves.
*This are the colors that each
chemical do:
Sodium-red
Calcium-yellow
Boron-green
Copper-bleu
Potassium-purpule
Methanol-gray
Information
When a metal or metal salt is
burned, the input of thermal
energy raises the electrons in the
metal atom to a higher energy
state. These electrons cannot
remain in this excited state for too
long and will emit energy in the
form of light to return to the more
stable, grounded state. It is this
light we see when a metal atom is
burned in a flame.
Each metal has a characteristic
flame color which has been found
to be useful in identifying minerals.
What is Happening?
