The ( )state is the lowest possible energy level that an electron can occupy.
When the electron gains energy, it may move to a higher energy level. This is called the( )
state

 ground state

Explanation:  The ground state, assuming you’re talking about an electron in an atom. As far as isolated leptons go, the electron is the lowest energy among the electron, muon, and tau particles. Muons and tau particles are unstable. A tau can decay into a muon or electron or other decays, while a muon can decay into an electron and associated neutrinos or gamma rays. Each has a corresponding neutrino, all of which have really, really tiny masses.     P.S not copy pasted
