The final product, luminol, produced light therefore this signifies that the reaction worked. It produced a neon blue, green color that showed that the reaction was fluorescence instead of being phosphorescence which produces a red color. The reaction lasted milliseconds which suggests that the reaction was again fluorescent because phosphorescent light lasts seconds before the light distinguishes because it stores absorbed energy for a longer time and is not spin paired. With this, more energy is required to flip spins and go back which makes the light last longer when jumping from the excited singlet to excited triplet state. However, with fluorescence it goes from an excited singlet to ground singlet state, because it must go downhill to
