This is particularly true to metals, and are the basis for flame tests and even for flame AAS analysis. When a metal is heated, the energy is taken in, and this promotes an electron to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). When this electron falls back down to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) the energy is often released as light, with a wavelength proportional to the energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO.

When a strontium compound is heated in a flame red light is produced When a barium compound is heated in a flame yellow-green light is produced Explain why these colors are emitted?
The red light from strontium compounds and yellow-green light from barium compounds are emitted due to the unique energy levels of electrons in these elements. When heated, electrons in strontium jump to higher energy levels and emit red light when they return to their original positions. In the case of barium, electrons jump to different energy levels and emit yellow-green light upon returning to their ground state.
Conclusion in flame test?
In a flame test, the color of the flame produced can be used to identify the presence of certain elements in a compound. This is due to the unique way each element emits light when heated. By observing and comparing the color of the flame with known standards, one can draw conclusions about the elements present in the sample being tested.
Why do atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature?
Atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature since the electrons induce to absorb energy, jumps to the excited energy state called quantum jump and then returns to their ground state. The amount of energy in the photon determines its color.
What is light produced by heating a piece of metal until it glows?
If you heat a metal it will begin to glow faintly red at around 500ºC, or about 950ºF. If you continue to heat it, by 800ºC (about 1450ºF) the glow will a dull cherry red and at about 1100ºC (about 2000ºF) the colour will be a lemon or light yellow colour. Finally, at temperatures above about 1300ºC (about 2400ºF) the glow appears white, and very bright. Precautions must be taken, as looking directly at an object at this temperature can damage your vision.
Name two objects which are non-luminous at room temperature but can be made luminous when heated?
-- the filament in an incandescent light bulb-- the coils in a bread toaster
What is the name of the spectrum when elements produce different colors when heated?
The spectrum produced when elements emit different colors when heated is called an emission spectrum. Each element has a unique emission spectrum based on the specific wavelengths of light it emits.
Which metal is used as filament in bulb?
Tungsten is typically used as the filament in light bulbs due to its high melting point and ability to withstand the high temperatures produced when the filament is heated to emit light.
What element is light bulb filaments made of?
Light bulb filaments are typically made of tungsten, due to its high melting point and durability. Tungsten is used for its ability to withstand the high temperatures produced when the filament is heated to emit light.
How do neon lights produce colorful light?
Gases in them are heated into high temperatures.
What is light produced by?
A filament is heated by an electric current and photons are emitted.

In the case of barium, electrons jump to different energy levels and emit yellow-green light upon returning to their ground state.
Why do elements burn different colors when they are heated?
When elements are heated, their electrons absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light. The color of the light emitted depends on the amount of energy released, which is specific to each element. This is why elements burn different colors when they are heated.
What type of energy is produced when a heated chemical glows?
Photons are emitted (light energy) and infrared energy.

What element is a light?
The light elements include Hydrogen, Helium, and Lithium. Some lists might include more. The light elements were initially formed in the big bang and current universal levels of hydrogen and helium agree very well with the levels produced in the big bang. Much less lithium was produced in the big bang, with most being produced later in stars. Elements past lithium were produced only later in stars.
Why do salts produce colors when heated?
The cause of the color is light (specific spectral lines) emitted by the metal from the salt at high temperatures.
Why do atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature?
Atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature since the electrons induce to absorb energy, jumps to the excited energy state called quantum jump and then returns to their ground state. The amount of energy in the photon determines its color.
