<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy
Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy
So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:
Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.
Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level
The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell
the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

Answer:
1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.
When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:
E = hc/λ
Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.
The wavelength can be calculated by:
1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)
Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:
1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)
1/λ = 8.227x10⁶
λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m
So, the energy is:
E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)
E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J
This is a basic orbital diagram for carbon
Answer is D. The periodic table rows are arranged by increasing atomic number. The atomic number is decided by how many protons they have.
