We'll then take a turn to talking about the periodic table, we'll look at a bunch of periodic trends, including ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity and atomic radius.

然后我们再开始讲元素周期表，我们会看到很多周期性规律，比如电离能，电子亲和能，电负性以及原子半径。

And the reason that they're the least sheilded is because they can get closest to the nucleus, so we can think of them as not getting blocked by a bunch of other electron, because there's some probability that they can actually work their way all the way in to the nucleus.

它们最不容易被屏蔽的原因,是因为他们可以更加接近原子，所以我们可以认为它们,最不容易被其它原子阻挡住，因为它们有一定的概率,离原子核非常近。

So, this allows us to look at a bunch of different atoms, of course, limited to the fact that it has to be a 1 electron atom.

所以这让我们可以研究很多原子，只要它们都只有一个电子。
