merge with excitation

yes this merger makes sense. Anlace 03:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lifetime

The article states;

The lifetime (see resonance) of a system in an excited state is usually short:

Is the link to the resonance article supposed to explain the meaning of lifetime or that the lifetime is short. As far as I can see it does neither. SpinningSpark 22:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Importance rating

I added a high-level importance template to this article in the hope that it draws some more attention to it in the wikiproject. This is such a common term, known even to high-school students from their chemistry class. It needs a bit more attention. Joshua Davis (talk) 07:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
