| Most atoms that have this boosted energy, however, return almost immidiately back to their previous state, relesasing excess energy along the way. |
With what words can 'along the way' be replaced in the quote?
Thanks. |

You could say "as the reaction takes place," or "as the reaction happens," or "while they do it" (it meaning "returning back to their previous state"). Along the way is used to talk about other things that happen while some main event or action is taking place. You might walk home, and stop to pick berries on the way. 
By the way it might just be a typo, but it's spelled immediately (e not i). |
