Aug 23, 2020 at 6:24 comment added I V BHARGAVAN An electronic state is defined by the electron configuration of the system and by the quantum numbers of each electron contributing to that configuration. Each electronic state corresponds to one of the energy levels of the molecule (source: chemistry libretexts).

Aug 22, 2020 at 18:46 comment added Taofeek Kinetic energy=1/2mv2
Aug 22, 2020 at 18:07 comment added Andrew How do you conclude that a defined energy means a defined velocity? That only applies if there is no potential energy term in the Hamiltonian
