when light falls on the it its electrons become excited and become free for conductivity that's why selenium is a photo conductor
Solid state. Selenium is usually amorphous, brick-red powder.
+4 oxidation state
Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.

Excited electrons are on higher levels of the electron clouds. It takes more energy to get them to the higher level, and energy is lost when they fall. When that energy is lost, a an x-ray photon is emitted.
Selenium is a solid.
Solid state. Selenium is usually amorphous, brick-red powder.
+4 oxidation state
Selenium is a solid at 20 degrees Celsius!
Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?
This electron is in an excited unstable state.

state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
