The ground state refers to the lowest energy level n=1 in which the atom is the most stable.
The electron normally occupies this level unless given sufficient energy to move up to a higher level.
An atom is said to be in an excited state when its electrons are found in the higher energy levels.
When an atom is excited from the ground state to a higher energy, it becomes unstable and falls back to one of the lower energy levels by emitting photon(s)/electromagnetic radiation
If the ground state is -13.6 eV , the ist excited state will be n=2 and the 2nd excited state will be n=3 where n= principal quantum number
and the energy of this state will beapprox. = -1.5 eV
as En = - E (g) z^2/n^2 and z=1 see for details

What's an inappropriate thing you've been asked in an interview?
The gal interviewing me talked about her issues the whole time. Then, things got more than uncomfortable.
