Question
The dazzling colors produced by fireworks result from excited gaseous atoms or molecules emitting light. The normal electron configuration of an atom is known as the "ground state." In ground state, all electrons are in the lowest energy levels available. When atoms or ions are heated, some electrons may absorb enough energy to allow them to "jump" to higher energy levels. The atom or ion is then said to be in the "excited state." The electrons cannot remain in this excited state for long and will emit energy in the form of light when they return to ground state. It is this light we see when an atom is heated in a flame. The frequency or color of light emitted depends on the energy difference between the excited state and the ground state. Chose the correct ground state configuration for Sr O 1:2322p 3s23p 43² 3d104p65s2 O 1:22p 3323p°4=?3410 4p7 O 1:?2,2p 3s23p 4s24p 441052 p75st
