Green fire is usually a result of the burning of copper sulfate. This occurs because when copper is heated, the electrons start to move very rapidly. This rapid movement causes the electon to move through different levels of energy. These different levels of energy cause different colors also known as the light spectrum. You can also cause fire to change colors by burning other chemicals such as lithium chloride (blue) and Calcium Chloride (intense orange).

∙ 12y agoOne of the main reasons why copper turns green is because of its chemical reaction and when it is exposed to oxygen, it will assume the color green.

How do you make fire burn in different colors?
By burning different substances e.g copper burns green and magnesium burns white.
What makes fire green?
copper
What happens to a copper rod if it is on fire?
Presumably burning in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it is chemically reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
What color does copper II nitrate turn with fire?
It turns a green colour
What metals color fire and what color do they make?
Sodium colours the fire bright yellow; Lithium - red; Calcium - dark red; Copper - green, blue-green; Potassium - blue; Magnesium - white
How do you make fire burn in different colors?
By burning different substances e.g copper burns green and magnesium burns white.
What makes fire green?
copper
What is a class D fire?
Metal fire. E.g. burning Magnesia, Lithium, Sodium, Copper, Aluminium;
Is burning copper dangerous?
It is slightly toxic. If you inject 4oz of copper into a 6oz lab rat, it will die. Did that help?
Why to some copper compounds emit green light when they are heated?
When copper bonds with oxygen, it turns green. The copper is bonding with oxygen in the fire because there must be oxygen nearby because a fire needs heat, fuel, and oxygen.
What happens to a copper rod if it is on fire?
Presumably burning in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it is chemically reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
Which compound is used in preparation of green fire?
Examples: compounds of copper, boron, barium
What color does copper II nitrate turn with fire?
It turns a green colour
What is a Class D fires?
Metal fire. E.g. burning Magnesia, Lithium, Sodium, Copper, Aluminium;
How do dragonflies protect theirselves?
They breathe fire...Catching the countryside on fire while burning there enemies
Is it possible to make green fire?
the next time you observe fireworks, put attention to all the colors you see. There will allways be some green for variation. The answer is yes. It is the add mix of copper to the fire which causes the green colour.
How hot is green fire?
Green fire is real and does exist. For those who think it does not -> copper chloride, when burned, makes a chemical reaction and what results is what we see as green fire. Green fire is about 620 degrees Fahrenheit while a "regular" fire is about 600 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit. ++++ Not quite I'm afraid. Nearly there though! The green colour of the flame is due to the copper within the compound, and you will find a similar effect if you heat a piece of the pure metal in a gas burner flame. The same is true for any element (though obviously some will burn) and the specificity of the wavelength of the emitted light for each element is the basis of spectrometry. This is used to analyse anything from small samples in the laboratory at a few hundred degrees K to stars (at millions of degrees K). I doubt the term "green fire" has any scientific validity though. And is copper chloride inflammable?
