Answer: An atom in an excited state contains more of kinetic energy than the same atom in the ground state.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy acquired by an object due to its motion. And, thermal energy is the internal energy of an object arisen because of the kinetic energy present within the molecules of the object.
Potential energy is the energy acquired by an object due to its position.
The total energy present at the center of mass of an object is known as mass-energy.
So, when an atom gets excited then it means it is gaining kinetic energy due to which it moves from its initial position after getting excited.
Thus, we can conclude that an atom in an excited state contains more of kinetic energy than the same atom in the ground state.
A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Overall charge is +1
