What makes a copper atom unstable?
it might not be unstable with anything.......
Why calcium turns to red in the flame test?
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.

Why do rock falls occur at Chapmans Peaks?
Rock falls occur at Chapmans Peaks because erosion makes the slopes unstable and gravity then brings the unstable rocks down.
What is the equation for the reaction between oxygen and calcium hydroxide?
CaCl2 + 2H2O so it makes Calcium chloride and water. ==
Where was the calcium in your teeth made?
Your teeth do have calcium in them, but in a low concentration. If they were pure calcium, then the calcium would react with the air and saliva in you mouth and violently explode, shooting flames and most likely killing you.
