(3) The atom goes into an excited state.

I say this because since it's moving from the second level to the third, it gains more energy. And it can't be an ion because there are electrons still present in the atom. If the electrons had happened to be removed then it would have been a negative ion.

Answer;

-(3) an atom in an excited state

Explanation;

-An electron in a sodium atom gains enough energy to move from the second shell to the third shell. The sodium atom becomes an atom in an excited state.

-Ground state is the lowest allowable energy state of an atom. When electrons are subjected to stimuli like heat, light or electricity an electron may jump to a higher energy level, which is the excited state. Excitation is the elevation in energy level above the baseline energy state.

What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.
