Do element atoms have their own color?

Element atoms do not have their own color. The color we see is a result of how light interacts with the atoms and their electrons. When light hits an atom, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The color we perceive is the color of light that is reflected off the atoms. Different atoms can absorb and reflect different colors of light, resulting in the variety of colors we observe in the world.


What instrument can be used to determine the identity of an element if its flame color is the same of another element?

Mass spectrometer would work.

Sulfur


What color is darmstadtium?

Because when you discover an artificial element with a high atomic number, you generally only discover a few atoms. This means that you cannot tell which colour the element is. Darmstadtium is the same.


How is the light given off by fireworks similar to an element's emission spectrum?

Many firework colors are made by burning metal salts. Each element gives off a unique color of the spectrum. When fireworks are lit, it causes the atoms of the metal salts to become excited, and as the fireworks are shot into the air electronic transition takkes place and visible light is seen. Depending on what elements the firework is made of will determine the color seen.


Can the way the atoms are arranged in a mineral change the color?

Well color is caused by a lot of things, one cause is defects (missing atoms or to many atoms) in the crystal lattice (how the atoms are arranged and connected). Also if an element that is not suppose to be the mineral, makes it way into the crystal it may change the color. So Yes the way the atoms are arranged can change the color. Causes of color is a very complicated question as there are many causes and some are very poorly understood.Answer2 Consider Opal for example, SiO2.nH2O. Has many colours, even without impurities. [perhaps internal interference and refraction in this case?]


How do atoms that make up matter affect it's characteristics and behavior?

Different atoms making up different matter are what gives the matter its unique characteristics and behavior. The atoms will determine the hardness, color, texture, melting and boiling points, conductivity, magnetism, etc...
