Just a short question.
I have five energies.
-25 eV
-5 eV
0 eV
5 eV
25 eV
The textbook definition is that the ground state is the state with the lowest energy, i.e. I believe 0 in this case.
But that is taking the absolute value of theenergies.
In reality the lowest energy is -25 eV so is it instead actually the -25 eV in this case
