What is a ground state energy term
Accepted Answer
In chemistry, the ground state energy is the lowest possible energy level of an atom, molecule, or ion. It's the most stable state for a system. When an electron absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level (excited state). It then releases that energy as light (photons) to return to its ground state.
