Electrons at a higher energy level are said to be in:
**b. Excited or happy state**
In quantum mechanics, the "ground state" refers to the lowest energy state of an electron, while the "excited state" refers to any energy state that is higher than the ground state. The term "neutral state" is not typically used in this context.
