Question
definition
a state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state
choose an answer
1 excited state
2 ground state
3 radiation - emitting state
4 neutral state
An atom in an excited state has more energy than it does in its ground state. The ground state is the lowest - energy state of an atom. A radiation - emitting state is related to the process of emitting radiation (usually when an atom transitions from a higher energy state to a lower one). A neutral state refers to an atom having no net charge (equal number of protons and electrons), which is not directly related to the energy level description.
