because according to energy profile,metastable state is lying lower than excited state.as we know that states of lower energies are more stable than states of higher energy.so it is more stable than excited state.

In matters lowest energy state does it tend to be more stable?
Yes it tends to be more stable.
In which state does the electron possess more energy?
An electron possesses more energy in the excited state than the ground state.
Cerium is stable in 4 oxidation state?
Cerium(III) is more stable
What is the stable state of an element?
The standard state, or reference state, of an element is defined as its thermodynamically most stable state at 1 bar at a given temperature (typically at 298.15 K). In thermochemistry, an element is defined to have an enthalpy of formation of zero in its standard state. For example, the reference state for carbon is graphite, because it is more stable than the other allotropes.
Are atoms more stable when combined?
No. They combine when the compound is more stable. Any system will tend to go toward a more stable state. If a molecule is less stable than the individual atoms there is a good chance it will fall apart.
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".
Why triplet state is found to be more stable than excited state?
Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?
What characterized a radioactive atom?
Its nucleus is unstable.
What is HTE difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state?
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.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
That is known as an excited state.
Does a hydrogen atom expand or contract as it moves from its ground state to an excited state?
i think it contracts because in excited state, electron have more energy and less pull.
In matters lowest energy state does it tend to be more stable?
Yes it tends to be more stable.
In which state does the electron possess more energy?
An electron possesses more energy in the excited state than the ground state.
Cerium is stable in 4 oxidation state?
Cerium(III) is more stable
What limitation is places on electrons in the bohr's model of the atom?
A shifting electron will always move from a more excited to a less excited state.
What limit is placed on electrons in the Bohr model in the atom?
A shifting electron will always move from a more excited to a less excited state.
