Difference between Energy level and Excited state

Energy level vs. Excited state

A quantum mechanical system or particle that is bound—that is, confined spatially—can only take on certain discrete values of energy. In quantum mechanics, an excited state of a system (such as an atom, molecule or nucleus) is any quantum state of the system that has a higher energy than the ground state (that is, more energy than the absolute minimum).

Similarities between Energy level and Excited state

Energy level and Excited state have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atom, Atomic nucleus, Atomic orbital, Bound state, Electron, Energy, Ground state, Molecule, Photon, Quantum mechanics, Quantum state, Rydberg formula, Spectral line, Stationary state, Temperature, Wave function.

Atom

An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element.

Ground state

The ground state of a quantum mechanical system is its lowest-energy state; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy of the system.

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.
