Best Answer

Under normal conditions, all of the inner shells are already full to their maximum occupancy, and so no additional electrons can go into the inner shell. Only with excitation with light can you create a vacancy in the inner shell such that outer shell electrons can fill that vacancy. This requires excitation with either ultraviolet light or x-rays.
