Each element give off a particular color when heated in a flame. (Some are colorless). Copper gives off a green flame but to do that there must be some copper compound IN the flame. (there are many other elements that also could be causing a green flame).
Background: Many elements produce flames of a characteristic color when they come in contact with the flame of the Bunsen burner. Using these âflame testsâ, scientists can determine the identity of an element based on the unique color pattern released by an element. How it works: By placing atoms into a flame, electrons can absorb energy and jump to an excited (higher) energy state.
