Electrons are the reason for why fireworks are different colors

# data[].attributes.body
The electrons first absorb some of the light that hits the atom or molecule. If the electrons give out exactly the same light as they absorb, the substance is "colorless".. however if the color of the light emitted is different from the color absorbed, then the substance has a color

The chemical species that produces a blue light up in the sky is a fragile copper compounding, a gas. And then you heat it to a very high temperature, and it gives off. light
(So when a person lights up a firework it heats up the fragile copper compound in it which causes the copper to emit a blue light.)

Some elements that change the color of the firework are Sodium(Na), Copper(Cu), Strontium(Sr), and Barium(Ba)
The one thing that classifies them all in the same group is that they are all highly reactive.

A prediction a student had in our class was that minerals are the reason fireworks are different colors. This turned out to be correct because different minerals have different effects on the color of fireworks and for the most part the elements that effect the color of fireworks are highly reactive.
