Question: Why do you see different colors when you watch a fireworks display? because the atom's bonds break apart. because the firework technician is able to dye the fireworks different colors. because different chemicals create different colors of light when they react with oxygen in the air. because of the sun's light and the reflection of the moon.

The correct answer is **because different chemicals create different colors of light when they react with oxygen in the air.**<br /><br />Fireworks contain various metal-containing salts. When heated, these salts emit light of specific wavelengths, which we perceive as different colors. This is due to the excitation and relaxation of electrons within the metal atoms. The heat from the firework explosion provides the energy for this process. Each metal has a unique electron configuration, resulting in a characteristic emission spectrum and thus a specific color.<br />
