How to make Green Fire.

Mix Heet Antifreeze, with Boric Acid (commonly found as roach killer), and light!
Its that easy.
But why does this happen?
Because, Boric Acid is a boron containing compound... Any boron-containing compound will cause flames to emit a green colour.

When boron compounds are heated, electrons absorb a certain amount of heat energy that causes them to jump to higher energy levels. After some time, the electrons lose this energy and fall back down to their original levels, emitting this energy in the form of light. Because the energy absorbed by electrons is different per element, each element will give a different colour.

its not physics you fucking dumbass. its chemistry. very different things.

[oscar18altamirano]

thumbs up if you muted

[chri087v]

Okay get it now. It's chemistry. I don't need 50 people to tell me that for F@#*S sake!

@DLuds10 what a very ignorant response! All sciences have an overlap and in chemistry, especially this type, a great deal of quantum mechanics is involved!

@epster123ify no, you'd probably die....

[epster123ify]

Great music and fire thing but would i piss green if i drank it?

[SuperBdawk]

how long is this burning?

[SuperBdawk]

could somebody explain this to me in german??? please

[DrakeTheSnakeBrozik]

:59 O_O

[ocarinafreak1]

that would make an awesome torch

@WFSW32 It's also physics, because it deals with exciting electrons, to an extent where they produce light... Admittedly, I learnt this in a chemistry class, but the sciences have a habit of overlapping =)

@chri087v Actually it's chemistry, not physics.
