So, using our simple valence bond theory, what we would expect is that we want to pair up any unpaired electrons in methane with unpaired electrons from hydrogen and form bonds.

利用简单的价电子成键理论，我们预计,要把所有甲烷中没有配对的电子,和氢原子中没有配对的电子配对来形成键。

as well as install them in the cars and validate the software that was with them.

还把系统安装在车里并检验配对的软件。

But it doesn't actually cost as much energy as you might think, because in this s orbital here we have a paired electron situation where we're moving up to a p orbital where the electron is no longer paired, so it won't feel quite as much electron repulsion, but nonetheless, this is going to cost us energy.

但它消耗的并没有,你们想象的那么多,因为s轨道里我们电子是配对的,当我们把，电子移到p轨道,电子不再配对，所以它不会感受到那么多的电子排斥，但尽管如此，这个过程还是要消耗能量的。

So if we take our carbon atom here, which has two electrons in the 2 s orbital, and we promote one of these electrons into a 2 p orbital, what we see now is that yes, we do, we have four unpaired electrons.

这是碳原子，2s轨道里有两个电子，我们把一个电子激发到2p轨道里，我们看到现在，是的，我们有4个未配对电子。
