The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?

It depends on the atom.
For example, the electron configuration of an atom of boron in the ground state is 2-3. In the excited state, it would be 2-2-1.
For an atom of chlorine, the ground state configuration is 2-8-7. The excited state would be 2-8-6-1.
When an atom enters the excited state, an electron moves up to a higher energy level and releases energy. An electron in the excited state is not stable until it returns to ground state.

Electron configuration for sodium in the excited state?
The groundstate for Sodium (11-Na) is: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3S1 If you count the ^powers you notice it'll sum to 11, when Sodium is excited the outermost electron (3S1) will be excited from the 3S shell to the next shell up which is the 3P shell. The "core" electron configuration doesn't change so the first excited state is simply: 1S2 , 2S2, 2P6, 3P1 For the next excited state the electron that is now in the 3P shell will transition to the 4S shell before the 3D shell
What is the electron configuration for a fluorine atom in the excited state?
Ground state: 1s2 2s2 2p5Excited state: 1s2 2s2 2p4 3s1In the excited state, one of the 2p electrons jumped into a 3s orbital. This is unstable, and the electron will jump back down, releasing energy in the same amount of energy that was required to excite the electron initially.
