whats a example of ground state and excited state

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about colored light? That demonstrates ground state, excited state, and the consequences thereof pretty neatly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Huh ? Im not understanding how your trying to state your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not so much giving you a straight-up answer, but rather I am suggesting an example in the real world that you could use. Are you familiar with how colored light works?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There you go. That's a very good example of what excited and ground states do! If you explained that, it might be a satisfactory answer to the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

example: ground state of Na atom: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 an excited state of Na atom: 1s2 2s2 2p5 3s2
