SORRY, YOU WERE INCORRECT.

HERE IS THE EXPLANATION OF THE QUESTION

 

Refer to the picture above when reading the explanations.

#11. When energy is added to an atom, that atoms electrons are boosted to a higher energy level. They are said to be in the ____________ and the atom has _______________?

a. ground state, absorbed energy - In the column of orbitals to the left both of the electrons in the 2p orbital are said to the ground state before the energy is added. The above atom will absorb the energy added, and one or more electrons will be excited to a higher energy level.

b. excited state, absorbed energy - In the column of oribtals to the left the 2s orbital contains 2 electrons in the ground state. After the energy has been added (the column to the right) the atom has absorbed some energy and the green electron has been excited to the 3s orbital, a higher energy level.

c. ground state, released energy - Energy was absorbed and the electron is in the excited state (3s orbital).

d. excited state, released energy - Energy was absorbed.
