Excited State of Atom
32. At room temperature, most of the H-atoms are in ground
state. When an atom receives some energy (i.e. by electron
collisions), the atom may acquire sufficient energy to raise
electron to higher energy state. In this conditions, the atom is
said to be in excited state.
From the excited state, the electron can fall back to a state of
lower energy, emitting a photon equal to the energy difference
of the orbit.
In a mixture of H―He⁺ gas (He⁺ is single ionized He atom), H-
atoms and He⁺ ions are excited to their respective first excited
states. Subsequently, H atoms transfer their total excitation
energy of He⁺ ions (by collisions)
