When a
common compound is heated it produces a colored light. What is the particle responsible
for it?
An electron
is a subatomic particle that is negatively charged. It acts as athe primary
carrier of electricity. It is the one responsible for the colored light when a
common compound is heated.
The heat may cause the electrons o
increase their energy level that causes the electron to jump. The absorbed
energy is release as a photon of light as the electron returns to its original
place.
