Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ground state of an atom is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The ground state is the most stable state of the atom.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 16A
The ground state is the lowest energy level in which electrons are most stable. This state is also known as most stable state.
Explanation of Solution
That state in which all electrons are in the lowest possible energy levels is known as ground state. This is most stable state of an atom because electrons are stay there for long time period.
Conclusion
Ground state is the state where electrons are more stable.
