Answer:
A ground-state atom is an atom in which the total energy of the electrons can not be lowered by transferring one or more electrons to different orbitals.
A excited state is any of the energy levels of a physical system, especially an atom, molecule, etc., that has higher energy than the lowest energy level.
Answer:
Ground state is the lowest possible energy state an atom can have. Excited state is an energy level that is higher than ground state. :)
