The energy state of an atom is an energy level.
The lowest energy state of an atom is known as the ground state. In this state, the electron is in its lowest energy orbital around the nucleus.
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy, the atom is in its ground state. This is the most stable arrangement for the electrons in an atom.
Excited State -_-
An atom is in an excited state when it has absorbed energy, causing its electrons to move to higher energy levels. These excited electrons are unstable and eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.
whenever they are in there most stable state , then they are at their lowest energy level. as u provide energy , they get excited and then upgrade to further energy level . and due to loss of energy , they regain earlier positions.
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
When an atom is in its ground state, it means that its electrons are in the lowest energy levels possible. This is the most stable configuration for the atom. Electrons in the ground state have the lowest energy and are closest to the nucleus.
This atom is in an excited state.
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
The lowest energy state of an atom is known as the ground state. In this state, the electron is in its lowest energy orbital around the nucleus.
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy, the atom is in its ground state. This is the most stable arrangement for the electrons in an atom.
An atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level is in an excited state. This can happen when the electron absorbs energy from its surroundings, such as from light or heat. The electron will eventually return to its original energy level, releasing the absorbed energy as light.
When an electron in an atom moves from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, it releases a photon of light with energy equal to the energy difference between the two states. This process is known as emission of light or photon emission.

The ground state
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (in the gaseous state) is called the IONIZATION ENERGY.
