Excited state is the name of the state when electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level.
In quantum mechanics, an excited state of a system (such as an atom, molecule or nucleus) is any quantumstate of the system that has a higher energy than the ground state (that is, more energy than the absolute minimum).
