The number of electrons.
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
The ground state electron configuration of the hydrogen atom is 1s1, and for helium it is 1s2.
The ground state.
This is called the "ground state", all electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy available to them.
This atom hasn't an electrical charge.
Atom in the ground state is stable but atom in excited state is not stable the main reason for this is their energies.Atoms in excited state has more energy so they undergo chemical reaction so they are not stable but atoms in ground state has less energy than the excited state so they dont undergo chemical reaction.

more electrons than an atom in the ground state
An atom of antimony in its ground state has 3 unpaired electrons.
Excited State -_-
It is the lowest allowed energy state of an atom, molecule, or ion.
