The colour is due to electronic transitions within each atom.
Electrons move up into high energy levels when heated in the fire.
The electrons then move back down into their original state upon cooling in the air around the fire.
When the electrons move down energy levels, specific amounts of energy are released, with the colour of the flame dependent on the wavelength of the light, which in turn depends on the distance (number of energy levels) that the electrons have to fall.
Try searching on YouTube for flame tests (I find "Mrericsully"'s videos to be quite good) for more similar reactions, particularly involving alkali earth metals
What else can I help you with?
New instrumentation allowed chemists to discover that lazurite's blue color comes from atoms of which element?
Sulfur. The blue color of lazurite comes from the presence of sulfur atoms within its crystal structure.
How does sulfur react with heat?
When sulfur is heated, it melts at 113°C and then eventually evaporates into a pale blue gas without forming any intermediate compounds. If heated to very high temperatures (above 450°C), sulfur can react with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas.
Why does sulfur turn blue when heated?
I'm glad to find someone else interested in sulfur...its a really cool element! As sulfur is burned, it emits a blue flame because of the production of sulfur dioxide, which is made during the combustion of O2 and sulfur. Just out of curiosity, do you know anything about why sulfur-8 (yellow sulfur) turns blood red at a certain heat? I know it has something to do with its density and viscosity, but other than that I'm stumped!
What color does sulfur turn a flame with oxygen?
Sulfur burns with a blue flame when it reacts with oxygen.
What color is sulfur when it burns?
Sulfur burns with a blue flame.

What does lazurite's blue color come from in atoms of which element?
Lazurite's blue color comes from the presence of sulfur atoms within its crystal structure, which absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect blue light. This interaction between the sulfur atoms and light gives lazurite its distinctive blue hue.

Why do you use blue flames to cook your food?
Hi, Blue plasters are used for hygine reasons. Blue is a very prominent colour as not many (possibly no) food is Blue So, it should be easy to spot
How hot are green flames compared to other colored flames?
Green flames are typically not as hot as blue flames, but are hotter than red or orange flames.
What color flames are hotter?
blue
How do you get blue flames on halo reach?
You can get the blue flames on Halo:Reach by downloading the app on an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, or you can ask a friend if you don't have one. When you have the app sign in to it using your bungie live ID then you can unlock the blue flames.
What are the two types of flame?
The two main types of flames are blue flames and yellow flames. Blue flames indicate clean, efficient combustion with sufficient oxygen, while yellow flames indicate incomplete combustion with impurities present.
Why are flames blue?
Flames can appear blue when they burn very hot. The blue color is due to the presence of carbon and hydrogen molecules in the flame that emit blue light when they are heated to high temperatures.
What color does sulfur turn a flame with oxygen?
Sulfur burns with a blue flame when it reacts with oxygen.
Which flames produces maximum heat?
Blue flames typically produce the maximum amount of heat when compared to other colored flames. This is because blue flames burn at a higher temperature due to complete combustion and greater oxygen supply.
