Electrons that are further away from the nucleus have more energy. As they enter an "excited" state, they jump up orbits.

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron that is farther away from the nucleus have high level of energy because they are in excited state. When the electrons are farther from nucleus then there is decreased interaction between the nucleus and electrons, and thus these electrons can be removed by spending less amount of energy. Hence we say that they are in excited state.
