Question

where does the energy come from to excite the electrons to a higher energy level? its in the air wood splint flame its in the chemical bonds can a substance burn any color? yes, it can absorb any amount of energy and remit in the form of light

Explanation:

For the first question, electrons are excited to higher energy levels by energy released from chemical - bond breaking. Chemical bonds store potential energy, and when they break, this energy can be used to excite electrons. For the second question, the colors of a substance's flame are determined by the specific energy transitions of electrons in the atoms or ions of the substance. Each element has characteristic energy levels for its electrons, so substances cannot burn any color.

Answer:

First question: its in the chemical bonds
Second question: No, the colors are characteristic of the substance's elements
