What u mean by :: Ground state atom?

Answer:
Heya ✌️✌️
Explanation:
A ground-state atom is an atom in which the total energy of the electrons can not be lowered by transferring one or more electrons to different orbitals.
Hope it helps ❣️❣️
Answer:
Above the ground state there are “excited states” - stationary states with higher energy than the minimum one of the ground state.
★ If you bang the atom in some way, say you hit it with a photon, then the photon may get absorbed and the atom jumps from the ground state to an excited state such that the difference between the two energies of the final and initial state equals the energy of the photon that got absorbed.
★ Then, what typically follows that the excited atom relaxes from the excited state to the ground state, releasing that energy back in the form of an emitted photon.
