Atomic energy level

energy level

n. In both senses also called energy state.

1. The energy characteristic of a stationary state of a physical system, especially a quantum mechanical system.

2. The stationary state of a quantum mechanical system.

energy level

n Physics

1. (Physics / General Physics) a constant value of energy in the distribution of energies among a number of atomic particles

2. (Physics / General Physics) the energy of a quantum state of a system. The terms energy level and energy state are often used loosely to mean quantum state. This is avoided in precise communication

energy level

One of a set of states of a physical system associated with a range of energies. Electrons in an atom, for example, can shift between the different energy levels corresponding to orbitals in different shells. Also called energy state.
