Description:
We hope you're as excited as the electrons in fireworks are, because today we're learning about fireworks. Just make sure you don't end up unstable like they do. We're not allowing any explosions today, or even this month for that matter.

Thank you We sneak just about everyone is jealous of

despite how much everyone loves him Bobby's jealous of billy
- 00:24
an equally big equally beautiful equally brilliant red firework Every
- 00:29
time the two are part of a firework display bobby
- 00:32
dissipates while feeling a bit hollow inside I could be
- 00:36
read like billy Well one day he was chatting it
- 00:38
up with bernie on orange firework being orange burning just
- 00:41
felt lucky that anyone at all would talk to him
- 00:44
I'm not getting the short end of the stick Orange
- 00:46
fireworks are basically the black sheep of the firework clients
- 00:49
But bernie told bobby something interesting He explained that the
- 00:52
color of light emitted by a firework corresponds to the
- 00:55
amount of energy released by electrons of a given element
- 00:59
He went on to say that when an electron absorbs
- 01:02
energy and jumps to a higher orbit iii in orbit
- 01:05
further away from its atoms nucleus it becomes excited much
- 01:09
In the same way you get excited if you heard
- 01:11
The latest starwars movie was opening three months early Once
- 01:14
the electron falls back to its original energy level or
- 01:17
ground state it releases energy in the form of light
- 01:21
bigger and jump The electron makes the more energy of
- 01:23
releases when it falls back toward the nucleus Now here's
- 01:27
where the conversation got interesting at least as far as
- 01:30
bobby was concerned red light has the lowest energy while
- 01:34
purple or violent life has the highest energy of visible
- 01:38
light In other words bodies electrons were bouncing all over
- 01:40
the place releasing large amounts of matter in order to
- 01:42
produce that brilliant purple hue Well billy's electron Well this
- 01:48
news thrilled bobby To no end Unfortunately billy was eavesdropping
- 01:52
And now he's totally down in the notes Pretty much 00:01:54.617 --> [endTime] a textbook case of classic electrons
