Well colour comes from light (e.g. the sun and lamps) its hard to believe but the sun's light (or any kind of light) enters the atmosphere and well changes colour and when it lands on something it reflecs of the object and if you want to know why is every thing, well not every thing a diffrent colour that's cause every thing reflecs diffrently

Colors are the names that humans with their languages have given to a the phenomenon of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range 420 nm (red) to 730 nm (violet). the electromagnetic radiation (light) would exist without anyone to observe it but calling the various wavelengths "colors2 is a purely human thing.

The different combinations of bonding arrangements. I'm not positive of my answer, but when I thought about the question, it made sense to me.

Energy is constantly moving. And when a an atom moves from the excited state back to the ground state, energy is reeased in the form of light. Depending on the atom, the bond, the amount of energy, phase etc... that would result in the changing of light waves which our eyes would perceive as color.

An example "in action" would be the burning of magnesium. The heat energy excites the atomes and then light is released. If one had a spectroscope, one could see the different light patterns.

Another example, transition metals... The Statue of Liberty is now green, because at an atomic level Cu changes color.

I believe this is where dyes come from, an ionic bond that is an exception to the general laws of chemistr and is a liquid at STP.

The color comes from what the plant drinks. If you color the water that a Rose drinks Blue the Rose flower will turn the color Blue.

What is atomic level?

The atomic level is the finest grain of aggregation summarized by a dimensional data model. When applied to dimensions, the atomic level refers to the discrete values the dimension may assume. When applied to a dataset, the atomic level is the cell created by the intersection of all dimensions at the atomic level. The atomic level is the lowest level of detail normally stored in a multi-dimensional database.


What happens to an atomic level when an element melts?

The atomic level is unchanged.


When you produce energy from a reaction where does it come from?

Energy release at atomic level when a particle move from one orbit to another.


What level does electricity begin in?

Electricity begins at the atomic level.


Why is rust an irreversible change?

because the iron and oxygen have combined on an atomic level creating the compound iron oxide and you would need to manipulate it on the atomic level to separate it.


Does atomic emission come from the sun?

there is no atomic emission from the sun.


Where can one find examples of atomic energy level diagrams?

Atomic energy level diagrams can be found online at Wikipedia and Hyperphisics. The local library may also be a good place to find examples of an atomic energy level diagram.


What is happening at the atomic level to give rise to the observed energy?

The atomic level is affected by the movement of electrons so as to give rise to the observed energy. This is what is used to explain the atomic emission spectra.


Atomic spectra and electron energy levels?

The atomic spectra of an element is basically the lines of color that appear when an electron jumps down or up an energy level. Depending on the shells that an electron jumps is the intensity or the color omitted. The colors that we see (yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple) mean different level jumps with purple being the highest and yellow being the lowest. The higher the energy level the lower the wavelength omitted and the lower the energy jump the higher the wavelength.
