List of Chemicals that burn bright green
Several chemicals can produce a bright green flame when burned. Here are some of the most notable ones:
1. **Copper compounds**:
- **Copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂)**: When burned, it can produce a bright green flame.
- **Copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄)**: Can also produce a greenish flame.
2. **Boron compounds**:
- **Boric acid (H₃BO₃)**: When burned, it can emit a bright green flame.
3. **Strontium compounds**:
- **Strontium carbonate (SrCO₃)**: Usually produces a red flame, but can sometimes produce green under certain conditions when mixed with other elements.
4. **Certain organometallic compounds**:
- Some compounds containing metals like lithium or sodium can produce various colors when combined with copper or barium.
5. **Barium compounds**:
- **Barium chloride (BaCl₂)**: Typically produces a green flame and is often used in pyrotechnics.
6. **Fireworks formulations**: Certain fireworks are designed to produce vivid green flames, often by including a combination of the above-listed chemicals.
Always remember that working with chemicals can be hazardous, and appropriate safety precautions should be taken.
