Expert Solution
Step 1

a)

The outer most shell in which electron is present is known as valence shell.

For ground state = K is the valence shell

For excited state =L is the valence shell

b)

For ground state the value of  Principal quantum number [n] = 1

For excited state the value of  Principal quantum number [n] = 2
