Why do different chemicals emit different colors of light, and why is the color emitted specific to that chemical?

<span>Every chemical is made up of atoms and each atom has one or more electrons surrounded its nucleus. The electron emits light after changing from a high energy state o to a lower energy state which is known as transition. The color of this light is unique to each element because each atom of a particular element has a different transition energy.</span>

2. When a drop of my pumpkin spice latte accidentally falls into the sploam, the substance begins to glow, then my room is fille
labwork [276]

Chemical because the first thing disappeared and changed into something completely different. Because you got something new from what you started with, it is chemical.

Idk why its pumpkin spice latte but I'm not going to judge. I prefer drinking bleach.

Describe the structure of atoms including locations and changes of protons,neutrons,and electrons
EastWind [94]

Atoms are made up of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, and the nucleus is found in the very center of an atom. Protons are positively charged whereas neutrons have no charge.

Electrons are found on the electron shells, and the electron shells are found in in the outermost region of an atom. The outermost electron shell contains valence electrons. Electrons are negatively charged.

The number of protons vary depending on the atomic number of an atom. The number of neutrons vary depending on the atomic mass and atomic number of an atom. To find the neutron you must subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. The number of electrons in a neutral atom also vary depending on the atomic number.

Sorry this is so long. I didn't quite understand your question so I added the last paragraph in just in case it was helpful in any way. I hope I helped!
