Answer:

Electrons in different metals

Explanation:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy.  The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.
