In fireworks, electrons are excited to higher energy levels when heat is applied. As the electrons return to their ground state, they release energy in the form of light, creating the vibrant colors we see in fireworks displays. Different chemicals are used to produce different colored light based on the specific energy levels of the electrons in those materials.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, cannot be used in making fireworks because they are chemically inert and do not readily form compounds that can produce the desired colorful light displays seen in fireworks.
The Bohr model of the atom describes electrons moving in fixed orbits around the nucleus. If we apply this concept to fireworks, we can imagine colorful lights representing electrons moving around a central nucleus in a structured manner, much like the beautiful patterns we see in fireworks displays. Just as fireworks brighten the night sky in intricate patterns, electrons in the Bohr model move in specific energy levels to create stability and unique spectral lines.
The outermost electrons, located in the atom's electron cloud, determine how it will react with other atoms. These electrons are involved in chemical reactions as they interact with electrons from other atoms to form chemical bonds.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Electrons doesn't react with sodium chloride.
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react
Nonmetals gain electrons.
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, cannot be used in making fireworks because they are chemically inert and do not readily form compounds that can produce the desired colorful light displays seen in fireworks.
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react, rather than lose them. This is because they have fewer electrons in their outer shell and they have a higher tendency to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

One mechanism is; when the atoms of various metals are heated as in fireworks, the electrons are bumped into higher (energy) shells (orbits). When they (electrons) fall back into their normal shell they emit light of certain colors (frequency).
Helium will not react with any other element.
