2
Barium

• 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2
• Green (486nm) went from 2s to one level higher
  than the red and from 2p to one higher than the
  red.

3
Calcium

• 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
• Red (656nm) went from 2s to 3p, 2p to 3d, and 2p
  to 3s.

4
Sodium

• 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
• The Na diagram went from 3s to 3p then to
  5s,6s,7s,6d,5d,and 4d.
• The move from 3p to 3s is responsible for the
  yellow glow (589nm).

5
Potassium

• 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
• The purple (434nm) went from 2s to two levels
  higher than the red and from 2p to two levels
  higher than the red. The second purple (410nm)
  went from 2s to three levels higher than the red
  and from 2p to three higher than the red.

6
Lithium

• 1s2 2s1
• The diagram went from 2s to 2p and then to
  4s,5s,6s,5d,4d, 3d.
• The move from 2p to 2s is responsible for the red
  emission (670nm).
