when something is in the ground
^No. That is totally incorrect.
Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.
The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.
In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD

What does it mean when chemists say that a reactant is reduced?
When chemists say a reactant is reduced, it means that the reactant gains electrons during the course of a chemical reaction. This typically involves a decrease in the oxidation state of the reactant, leading to an increase in its electron density.
Do a electron have a negative charge?
Well that's what our books say! Approx=1.6 x10^-19 coulombs
What does it mean to say that the hydrogen atom has discrete energy level?
It means that the energy of the electron in a hydrogen atom can only have specific, quantized values. These energy levels are defined by the electron's distance from the nucleus and are distinct from each other. When the electron transitions between these levels, it emits or absorbs photons of specific energies.

Why are energy levels of hydrogen atom less than zero?
This doesn't really mean the electron has negative energy or energy less than zero. It is merely a matter of convention and the way the energy equation is written. "Because it takes a minimum amount of energy, called the "ionization energy" to strip or ionize a bound electron from the Hydrogen atom, energy levels are usually referred to as being negative quantities. In both classical physics and quantum mechanics the absolute value of energy is irrelevant; only energy differences matter. It is convenient to say that when ionized the electron will have zero binding energy to the proton. With this convention, the different energy levels of a Hydrogen atom are given by the equation: E = - E (z)/n^2 (notice that negative sign in the equation) where E(z) = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602×10-19 Joules) and n = 1,2,3… and so on so that the ground state has energy E1= -13.6 eV and the second energy level (the first excited state) has energy E2 = -13.6/4 eV = -3.4 eV." Simple as that.
What is difference between a ground state electrons configuration and an excited state configuration?
In the ground state all the (only one for Hydrogen)) electrons is in the lowest stable orbit. If the electron gains energy (usually from a photon) it will orbit in a higher energy state (called excited).
Ground state vs excited state?
A ground state is an outer orbital electron of an element that is at its lowest possible energy level. The electron in an excited state has a higher energy level than a ground state electron. The average distance from the nucleus is greater in the excited state than in the ground state.
What did Planck say about energy and electron?
He said that electrons can become excited and begin to hop energy levels; when this happens an electron is in the excited state.
How do you say frost in Finnish?
If you mean frost in the ground then it's routa in Finnish.
What is meant by isolated gaseous atom and why this term is used in case of ionization energy?
ionization enthalpy means the energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atom in its ground state . the isolated gaseous state is the state in which no other force of attraction acting on an atom form other atom . so that, we get the exact energy required to romove or add an electron to an atom. and here ground state is used to say that electron are stable and are not exited .. so , the ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from gaseous atom which is free from other atom in that state in which electrons are stable. by shashank

What does state your claim mean?
It means "Say what you're arguing" Your claim would be your argument, or what you're trying to persuade someone of. State means to say.
What does it mean to say that an electron has a probability of being found in a certain location around the nucleus?
Exactly what it says. The precise location of an electron cannot be ascertained. The best that can be done is to calculate probabilities that it is found within various locations.
