Anything with a substructure has excited states. Molecules, atoms, nuclei all can absorb photons which causes them to make transitionsa transition to an excited statesstate. WhenConversely, when they jump from an excited state to a lower energy state, energy is emitted in the form of photons. DoCan proton and neutrons (having electrically charged quarks inside them) can have such excited states?
