Just as with your traditional 401k, you contribute pretax dollars to a traditional IRA (as I discuss further, you can only contribute pretax dollars up to certain income levels) and then benefit from tax-deferred growth and distributions.emember that contribution limits apply to the total of your contributions to all of your retirement accounts, either IRA or 401k. Note that the chart below includes the Roth option â which as of 2006 has been available for 401ks as well as IRAs.
Define excited state: a state of a physical system (such as an atomic nucleus, an atom, or a molecule) that is higher in energy than the ground state a state of a physical system (such as an atomic nucleus, an atom, or a molecule) that is higher in energy than the ground stateâ¦
An atom is a compound state of a nucleus and one or more electrons. This system has a certain amount of energy; one kind of energy is that of the electrons which revolve around the nucleus. There exists a state, called ground states, in which this energy is the smallest. Also there exist some other states where the electrons revolve faster or farther from the nucleus; in these states, the energy of the electrons (and the atom on the whole) is higher. These are called excited states (of the atom). â AstoundingJB Mar 13 '14 at 14:43 @AstoundingJB The further the electron is from the nucleus, the slower the speed.
