Because, due to the absorption of heat energy by the calcium atom in the flame. The electrons in the atom get promoted to a higher energy level, and exist in an unstable excited state. As they are unstable and prefer to be at their normal ground state, the extra energy that the electrons absorbed to be promoted in the first place is emitted in the form of a photon, light. The light emitted from the electrons of the calcium atoms will be at a specific wavelength, which is the red light you see emitted from the flame.

What colour flame does calcium produce in a flame test?
The colour turns brick Red .
Calcium vs. lithium flame?
Lithium: pink to red Calcium: red as brick
What element emits a yellow light?
A better question would be "which elements burn red", as more than one element burns red. Lithium chloride burns red, calcium chloride burnds a red-orange, and strontium chloride burns bright red.
What color flame test does LiOH?
red orange
What color does Cesium burn in a flame test?
Red
What colour flame does calcium produce in a flame test?
The colour turns brick Red .
What is the flame test for calcium chloride?
Calcium gives a red color.It is brick red.
What element turns the flame carmine red?
Strontium chloride creates the red of road flares, lithium chloride also produces a red flame. Calcium chloride is supposed to produce red, but is perceived as a deep orange flame.
Calcium vs. lithium flame?
Lithium: pink to red Calcium: red as brick
Why is it somewhat difficult to tell the difference between calcium and lithium and strontium using a flame test?
They both produce a red flame in different shades of red, which is often hard to distingiush which shade.
What is the color of lithium flame?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What element emits a yellow light?
A better question would be "which elements burn red", as more than one element burns red. Lithium chloride burns red, calcium chloride burnds a red-orange, and strontium chloride burns bright red.
Which pair of ion produce similar colors in the flame tests?
To know which pairs of ions produce similar colors in the flame test it is important to know what the pairs of ions are. Without knowing this a person will not be able to know which would produce similar colors in the test.
What is lithium's flame color?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What color is lithium's flame?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What is the color of the flame of burning lithium?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What colour flame do you get when calcium chloride is burnt?
Red brick; it is not a burning but a heating.
