Energy must be added to an atom to move a electron from a lower to a higher energy level. this is known as

The excitation energy  

Explanation:

Excitation energy is the energy needed move an electron from a lower energy level (usually the ground state) to one of higher energy (an excited state).

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

i think it's letter a.
