excited state: state in which an atom or molecule picks up outside energy, causing an electron to move into a higher-energy orbital.
Now, an excited state configuration has one electron promoted from a lower to a higher energy level. Looking at the ground state configuration, you could have one electron from the #3s# sub-level promoted to the #3p# sublevel.
