We have investigated the ground state (1S), radially excited states (2S) and (3S) along with the orbitally excited state (1P) for the heavy charmonia and bottomonia mesons in the light-front quark model (LFQM). The light-front wave functions have been successful in explaining various physical properties of meson states in the past, especially for the 1S and 2S states. However, studies regarding the radially excited state 3S and orbitally excited state 1P have hardly been pursued before. In this study, we take up these two excited states and investigate the electromagnetic form factors (EMFFs), charge radii, decay constants, parton distribution functions (PDFs) and the distribution amplitudes (DAs) for the quarkonia system. For the sake of completeness, we have also included the study of the ground and the first excited states of quarkonia mesons. We have also illustrated the 3D wave functions for the radially excited states in order to study their nodal structures.
