And the reason that we use it is that it is incredibly accurate, and allows us to very, very quickly predict and to predict accurately, in most cases, what the electron configuration of molecules are going to be.

我们用它是因为它极为精确，并且能让我们非常非常快地预测,而且是准确地预测，大多数情况下，分子应该具有的电子排布。

You wouldn't be expected to be able to guess that this would happen, because using any kind of simple theory, we would, in fact, predict that this would not be the case, but what we find experimentally is that it's more stable to have half filled d orbital than to have a 4 s 2, and a 3 d 4.

你们不用预期有能力,猜出这个会发生，因为使用任一种简单的理论，我们事实上可以预测不会是那种情况，但是我们在实验中发现的,是半填充d轨道比,4s23d4更加稳定。
