I have shown that by taking Avogadro's number of individual ion pairs and putting them all together in a line, the system's energy became more negative.

我推导出了,从每一个离子对中抽出阿伏加德罗常数,再把它们放在一起在一列中，这个系统的能量就变得更负。

Now if you read in the book, you read about where this figure is shown in the book, you can understand more about why these structures line up in the right way so that the right molecular elements are together to form hydrogen bonding pairs between them.

如果你预习过课本,课本中有关于这些详细的描述,你可以更深刻的理解,为什么这些结构是采用这种连接方式,以使对应的分子部分靠近,并形成氢键连接

If I can prove that it is greater than one that means that the line is more stable than the set of ion pairs.

如果我可以证明它大于,这就表明,这一line要比这一系列离子更稳定。
