The excited state of phosphorus occurs when an electron is promoted to a higher energy level within its electron configuration. This results in phosphorus having more energy than in its ground state, which can lead to the emission of light or other forms of energy when the electron returns to its original energy level.

When phosphorous is excited what will its electronic configuration be and Will the excited electron go to 4s orbital as per energy level diagram or 3d orbital and why?

In the case of excited phosphorus, the electron will bump up to the 3d level. This is the next closest location (in terms of energy) that the electron can go. Even though ground state phosphorus has no electrons in 3d, the atom can still access that sub-level because the principal quantum numbers for 3p (where its valence electrons are anyway) and 3d are the same.

Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground 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".

An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?

No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels


Can phosphorus exists as covalent crystals in the solid state?

Phosphorus can, in fact, exist as covalent crystals in the solid state. Phosphorus usually exists in the solid state as non-covalent crystals. Under intense pressure, however, the bonds can become covalent.


What state of matter is phosphorus in at room temperature?

Phosphorus is typically in a solid state at room temperature. There are different allotropes of phosphorus, with the most common form being white phosphorus, which is a waxy solid.


Why do elements go from ground state to excited state?

Elements go from the ground state to the excited state if some form of energy is supplied. Otherwise, they stay in the ground state.
