What is the name of the state when electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level?
a. illuminated state
b. excited state
c. diffused state
d. ground state

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).

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
