Different elements give off different energy signals because each element has a different number of valence electrons.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Through the magic of chemistry. It's all about the many, many different ways that atoms can be linked up via chemical bonds to make chemical compounds. And because of the "flexibility" of the carbon atom, it can make long chains of complex compounds. These long chains will "up the count" of molecules. As compounds become larger aggregates of atoms, the atoms can arrange themselves in many different ways to become a different compound. Even with the same numbers of the same atoms, different arrangements, and, therefore, distinct compounds with their own unique characteristics, can be formed. The element carbon is almost miraculous in it's ability to form "chains" or other complex structures to give shape to very large, complex molecules. Far and away more compounds are formed from carbon than any other single element.
Things like atoms and sub atomic particles are far too small to have colour. We perceive colours from the scattering and absorption of light. The different light frequencies give us different colours. Protons are far, far smaller than any visible light wavelengths, so they can't really be said to have any colour at all.
Different elements are mixed together in rocks, which give them different colors. or striations.
She discovered that different atoms give off different frequencies of light.
their atoms take,give,or share electrons with other atoms :)

An atom doesn't have a frequency. It can vibrate with many different frequencies. It can absorb radiation of different frequencies under different circumstances. For instance, electrons moving between various energy levels absorb and release characteristic frequencies of visible and ultra-violet light, and in a magnetic field radio frequency energy can be absorbed as the nucleus moves from one spin state to another. Bonds between hydrogen and other atoms absorb energies in the infra red. All these things give spectra of various frequencies, not an individual frequency.

Dinitrogen (N2) is a molecule that is not a compound, as it only contains nitrogen atoms. Hydrogen chloride is a molecule that is a compound, as it contains two different elements.

It's not the atoms that change, it is the molecules... In short, the molecules(elements) can share, give, or take electrons from other molecules(elements).
