    Niels Bohr developed a planetary model of the atom in which electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells or energy levels called orbitals. Electrons can move between these discrete orbitals but only absorb or emit specific amounts of energy corresponding to the difference between the orbitals. When electrons drop from higher to lower orbitals, they release energy in the form of photons of light. This explains the emission of light from atoms and the distinct colors seen in fireworks.

    Neils Bohr’s Postulate:


    An electron can revolve around an atom following the its specified orbital.
    An electron does not emit radiation if it revolves only around its allowed orbital.
    Moving from one orbital to another, which is called quantum leap will allow the electron
    to gain or lose energy.
    Thus, electrons can only be at a certain energy level (or orbital). When an
    electron is energized, it moves to a higher orbital and is in an excited state. Then it
    returns to its initial (lower) orbital and is now in its lower energy state or ground state.
    Energy is released in the form of light as the electron moves back to its ground state.
    That is how the metal components of fireworks produced their beautiful colors.
    Electrons in the metals release the absorbed energy in the form of light.
