So here we have energy increasing on the y-axis, and you see this straight line at the bottom here is lower down on the graph, and that's the energy of a bound electron, so that's going to be a low stable energy.

这里我们看到能量沿着y轴增加，而且在这张图片上,这条直线在底部是降低的，那是一个束缚电子的能量，所以那是一个低稳态能量。

All right. So formal charge can actually help us out when we're trying to decide between several Lewis structures that look like they might be comparable in terms of which might be the lower energy or the more stable structure.

好的，形式电荷真的可以,帮助我们决定,在几种路易斯结构中,哪个更可能符合能量更低,或者结构更稳定的要求。

Alumina is really stable, which is why it takes so much energy to make aluminum.

矾土相当稳定，这就是为什么需要消耗大量的能量制备铝了。

And we haven't talked about reactions at all yet, so you don't need to worry about the specifics of that exactly, but just that if you have this negative change in energy, you have a more stable product than you do reactant.

当然我们还没有开始讨论反应，所以你不用担心它的细节是怎么样的，你只需要知道，如果能量的变化是负值，那么你将得到一个比反应物更稳定的生成物。

So, if we have energy that's released, would you say that the chlorine ion is more or less stable than the chlorine atom?

那么，如果我们放出了能量，你认为氯离子比氯原子,更稳定还是更不稳定呢？

But we see if we have a free electron, as we do in this dotted line here, that's going to be a higher energy that's less stable.

但是我们看到如果,我们有一个自由电子，就像虚线所示那样，那将会是一个较高的,不够稳定的能量。

And what you can see directly from looking at this energy level diagram, is that the molecule that we have is now more stable in the individual atoms.

你从直接看,能级图中会发现，分子比单个的,原子能量更低。

Those are going to be the more stable or the lower energy structures.

这种结构应该是更稳定的,或者能量更低的结构。

So, if we want to go from that stable state to that less stable state, we need to put in a certain amount of energy to our system, that difference between the free electron and the electron bound to the metal.

所以，如果我们想使电子,从稳态到达不够稳定的状态，我们需要引入一定数量的,能量到系统中，即自由电子和束缚于金属的,电子的能量差。

So whenever we're thinking about energy states, it's lways more stable to be more low in an energy well, so that's why it makes sense that it's favorable, in fact, to have an electron interacting with the nucleus that stabilizes and lowers the energy of that electron by doing so.

负的能量越多，能级越低,无论何时，能级总是越低越稳定,所以这就是为什么电子更,倾向于通过和原子核相互作用,来稳定并降低电子的能级。

We knew from Friday, when we talked about energy, that ground state was that n equals 1 value, that was the lowest energy, that was the most stable place for the electron.

我们上周五知道了，在讨论能量的时候，基态指，n等于1的态，它能量最低，是，最稳定的态。
