An energy level is a quantified stable energy, which a physical system can have; the term is most commonly used in reference to the electron configuration of electrons, in atoms or molecules. According to quantum theory, only certain energy levels are possible; the higher an electron's level, the greater its potential energy.
The set of all energy levels of a system is called its energy spectrum.
An energy state or molecular energy state is comprised of an electronic, vibrational, and rotational component, such that:
- <math>E = E_{electronic}+E_{vibrational}+E_{rotational}<math>
The specific energies of these components vary with the specific energy state and the substance.
