An electron in the third excited state (of the lowest energy) of the hydrogen atom has n = 4? True.
n=1: ground state
n=1 ==> n=2 first excited state
n=1 ==> n=3 second excited state
n=1 ==> n=4 third excited state

Ground state: The electron is at its lowest possible energy level, and its closest average distance from the nucleus. Excited state: The energy is higher than the ground state, and the average distance from the nucleus is greater.
