The ground state of an electron, the energy level it normally occupies, is the state of lowest energy for that electron. There is also a maximum energy that each electron can have and still be part of its atom.

Beyond that energy, the electron is no longer bound to the nucleus of the atom and it is considered to be ionized. When an electron temporarily occupies an energy state greater than its ground state, it is in an excited state.
