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]]> 2022-12-20 19:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426086919 10775771 https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426088404 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.)  ]]> 2022-12-20 19:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426088404 10775771 https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426088433 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.

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.]]> 2022-12-21 17:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426868685 Works Cited 10775771 https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426931842 2022-12-21 19:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426931842 Works Cited 10775771 https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426936249 2022-12-21 19:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426936249 Works Cited 10775771 https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426939405 2022-12-21 19:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/10775771/k1i2ne264f6e59j2/wish/2426939405
