How are the colors produced by a chemical when it burns related to the atomic structure of the chemical?

The transition of excited electrons from one allowed energy level to another. As the excited electrons lose their excess energy and return to the ground state, they give out a photon with an energy directly proportional to the energy difference between the electron levels. The photons (light particle/wave) appear different colours depending on the energy of the photon given off.

Yes, that's more or less what happens in the case of radioactive decay.


How do you calculate Excess Returns?

To calculate excess returns, subtract the risk-free rate of return from the actual return on the investment. Excess returns show the additional return earned above the risk-free rate, which represents the compensation for taking on additional risk. It is commonly used to evaluate the performance of an investment or portfolio.
