Which ESLR was addressed in this activity? Explain why using at least a couple of sentences.

# data[].attributes.body
An ESLR addressed in this activity was being a critical thinker. We had to answer questions that you gave us with the results we got from the experiment. Along with using the experiment results, we also had to research online for informations that were not given in the google document handout or textbook

Quanta: a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.
Ground state: The lowest allowed energy state of an atom, molecule, or ion
Excited state: Excited state refers to an atom, ion, or molecule with an electron in a higher than normal energy level than its ground state.

What is the identity of your unknown? What color did the unknown exhibit that led you to your conclusion? 

# data[].attributes.body
We got Unknown F which is Sodium due to it's bright yellow orange flame as it evaporates in the fire.

How did you determine your unknown chemical?

# data[].attributes.body
We determined the unknown chemical by analyzing the color of the flame and comparing it to all of our previous tests throughout the activity. We determined that Unknown F characteristic color was most similar to sodium, a bright orange.

Why do elements produce colors when they are in a bunsen burner flame? Use phrases like ground state, excited state, electrons, energy levels

Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds when evaporated by an open flame. Electrons would start at a ground state, when nothing is energizing it, and move to an excited state when energized. When you heat ions, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty electron shells at higher energy levels, depending on how much energy a particular electron happens to absorb from the flame. Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced as it goes back down. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

We are using a Bunsen burner to burn eight wooden coffee stirrers dipped in chemicals with different elements and observe the characteristic colors produced by certain metallic ions when vaporized in a flame.
