Difference between Excited state and Ground state

Excited state vs. Ground state

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

Similarities between Excited state and Ground state

Excited state and Ground state have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atomic nucleus, Atomic orbital, Bound state, Electron, Energy, Negative temperature, Quantum mechanics, Quantum superposition, Stationary state, Temperature, Wave function.

Atomic nucleus

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

Bound state

A bound state is a composite of two or more fundamental building blocks, such as particles, atoms, or bodies, that behaves as a single object and in which energy is required to split them.
