1. 🔥Combining chemicals in a drop of water. When you put specific positively charged ions and negatively charged ions into solution, they may form larger more complex entities, which enable charges being distributed between metal center (usually positive metal ion) and ligand hull (usually negative). This charge transfer can be promoted by interaction with light. So that's why you see the emerging colors. Some salts are also just colorful. For example the lead (II) iodide. It is not water soluble which means it precipitates hence the downward arrow.
