Quanta

The minimum quantity of energy that can be lost or gained by an atom.

Photons

particles of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy

The ground state is

the lowest energy state of the atom. Only one ground state exists for each atom.

The excited state is

A state in which an atom has a higher potential energy than it has in its ground state is an
