The lines of Swoon's drawing give energy and movement to the picture.

So, what he did was kind of impose a quantum mechanical model, not a full one, just the idea that those energy levels were quantized on to the classical picture of an atom that has a discreet orbit.

还不是完整的,只是这些能级，是量子化的概念，作用到原子有分立轨道的经典原子模型上,当他做了一些计算后,他得到有个半径,他算出来。

And when you talk about n for an orbital, it's talking about the shell that shell is kind of what you picture when you think of a classical picture of an atom where you have 1 energy level, the next one is further out, the next one's further away.

当你们谈到，某个轨道的n时，你们说的是壳层，壳层就是,你想象，一个原子,的经典图像时的场景,你有一个能级，下一个再更远的地方，再下一个又更远。
