Which best describes what occurs when heating a compound containing a metal in the flame of a Bunsen burner?
1)Forms new atoms in the compound. When these new atoms are formed in the
compound, thes release energy as colored light.

2)Can destroy atoms in the compound. When the atoms of the compound are
destroyed, this gives off energy in the form of heat and colored light.

3)Can cause electrons in some of the metal atoms to move further away from the
nucleus. When these excited electrons return to their original locations, energy is
given off in the form of colored light.

4)can cause new nonmetal atoms to be formed in the compound. These new nonmetal
atoms release energy in the form of colored light when they are created.
