Incorrect spelling, explanation: the right word came from joining words: expert that means someone very wise and familiar with one field, and suffix ence – there is no explanation for changing it into ance.
Correct spelling, explanation: the word has its origins in the noun expert, and by adding the suffix -ence we get new noun, expert + ence = experience.

2. verb, refers to a previous situation that you have already been in, so now you can share your opinion or observations,
You must tell them about the situation you experienced in China last year.
