John Logajan logajan@ns.network.com asks: >In the general case, do atoms with valence electrons in non-ground states >cease to react chemically or do the chemical properties change radically? Atoms with valence electrons in excited states are much more reactive than atoms in ground states. Furthermore, the reactions of excited-state atoms and molecules typically undergo reactions by different pathways (mechanisms) than ground-state atoms and molecules.
