Answer to Problem AM

Electron levels having higher than normal energy are excited states.

Explanation of Solution

Excited states are the states having value of principal quantum number n greater than 1 . Energy of state increases with an increase in n .

Ground state is the state having minimum energy. Principal quantum number corresponding to ground state is 1 . All the other energy states have higher energy than the ground state.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the word excited states can be picked from the list.
