excited state: state in which an atom or molecule picks up outside energy, causing an electron to move into a higher-energy orbital.
If the lifetime for gamma emission exceeds about one nanosecond, the excited nucleus is defined to be in a metastable or isomeric state. The decay process from this excited state is known as an isomeric transition (IT).
