The transition of excited electrons from one allowed energy level to another. As the excited electrons lose their excess energy and return to the ground state, they give out a photon with an energy directly proportional to the energy difference between the electron levels. The photons (light particle/wave) appear different colours depending on the energy of the photon given off.

How are colors produced by a chemical when it burns related to the atomic structure of the chemical?

Colors are produced by means of energy. When a chemical burns, related atomic structure of chemicals excites the electrons which results in the emission of visible light and forms into various colors.

Could the periodic table be arranged according to atomic mass than atomic number?

It was originally arranged that way and it produced some conflicts (pairs of elements in the wrong columns for their known chemical properties). Arranging by atomic number (initially arbitrary until the structure of the atom was determined) solved these conflicts.
