Green fire is usually a result of the burning of copper sulfate. This occurs because when copper is heated, the electrons start to move very rapidly. This rapid movement causes the electon to move through different levels of energy. These different levels of energy cause different colors also known as the light spectrum. You can also cause fire to change colors by burning other chemicals such as lithium chloride (blue) and Calcium Chloride (intense orange).
The products of corrosion on copper are green or blue.
One of the main reasons why copper turns green is because of its chemical reaction and when it is exposed to oxygen, it will assume the color green.

copper goes green as it is copper and Oxygen which is Copper Oxide
as it the oxygen takes th copper
By burning different substances e.g copper burns green and magnesium burns white.
copper
Presumably burning in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it is chemically reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
It turns a green colour
Sodium colours the fire bright yellow; Lithium - red; Calcium - dark red; Copper - green, blue-green; Potassium - blue; Magnesium - white

It is slightly toxic. If you inject 4oz of copper into a 6oz lab rat, it will die. Did that help?
When copper bonds with oxygen, it turns green. The copper is bonding with oxygen in the fire because there must be oxygen nearby because a fire needs heat, fuel, and oxygen.
Presumably burning in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it is chemically reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
Examples: compounds of copper, boron, barium

the next time you observe fireworks, put attention to all the colors you see. There will allways be some green for variation. The answer is yes. It is the add mix of copper to the fire which causes the green colour.
The flames in a fire burn according to chemical principles, and sometimes the material burned is or has in it a substance that burns with a green flame. There are a number of metal salts that burn with a green flame, and copper may be the most common among them. Think about fireworks. They are burning materials, and the color of the light given off is determined by the materials burned in the particular charge. Who would know more about what color things burn in than the chemist who is responsible for making up the stuff that goes into fireworks? There are packages of "fireplace additives" that are put on wood to give more color to the flames. The same ideas are involved.
