Question

problem 19
the ground state in an atom is
a place in the atom where the electric charge cancels out.
the state an electron is in when it has absorbed three or more different photons.
the electron orbit with the lowest possible amount of energy.
the energy level from which it is most easy for an electron to escape.
when the atom has been ripped apart into the particles that made it up.

Explanation:

The ground - state of an atom refers to the lowest - energy state of an electron in the atom. An electron in the ground state has the least amount of energy compared to other possible energy levels. It is not related to charge cancellation, absorption of multiple photons, ease of electron escape, or the atom being ripped apart.

Answer:

the electron orbit with the lowest possible amount of energy.
