question 6
which of the following describes atoms in the excited state? choose all that apply.
all electrons are in lowest energy level
written “incorrectly”
unstable
stable
some electrons have moved to higher energy levels
written “correctly”

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an excited - state atom, electrons move from the ground - state (lowest energy level) to higher energy levels. Excited state atoms are unstable as they tend to return to the ground state to achieve lower energy. The electron configuration of an excited state atom is different from the ground - state configuration, but it's not about being written "correctly" or "incorrectly" in a general sense.

Answer:

unstable
some electrons have moved to higher energy levels
