Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.
If you think of it endothermic is when there is energy needed for the reaction to occur and exothermic is when the reaction releases energy
The temperature of a liquid can exceed its boiling point. An example is water. Although at ordinary pressure of 1 atm, the boiling point is 100 degrees, water can still exist in higher temperatures but this time in another state. Superheated steam is the term used for water whose temperature has higher than the boiling point
