We don't always want to go and solve the Schrodinger equation, and in fact, once we start talking about molecules, I can imagine none of you, as much as you love math or physics, want to be trying to solve this Schrodinger equation in that case either. So, what Lewis structures allow us to do is over 90% of the time be correct in terms of figuring out what the electron configuration is.

我们并不想每次都去解薛定谔方程，而且实际上，一旦我们开始讨论分子，我可以想象,你们中没有一个人，不管你有多么热爱数学或物理，会想去解这种情况下的薛定谔方程,总之，路易斯结构能让我们,有超过，90%，的概率判断出正确的,电子排布。

So always amazing to us how we go into the problem, our eye or mind can see one class of solutions, but the math will tell you sometimes there are new solutions and you've got to respect it and understand and interpret the unwanted solutions, and this is a simple example where you can follow what the meaning of the second solution is.

解决问题的方式总能让人惊喜不已,我们的眼睛或思想可以看见一类解,但数学有时会告诉你还有新的解,你不能忽视它,而是解释这些不期而至的解,这只是一个简单的例子,由此你可以理解第二个解的意义

Now, just to repeat, again I know I've got some math phobics in the audience, let me just slow down a second, all I'm doing here is I'm saying look at this equation of the pink line, look at this equation of the blue line, X is when they cross, i.e., they are equal to each other.

我再重复一遍,我知道你们之中有些人数学不怎么好,我放慢一点说,我是这么解的,看这条粉线的方程,还有这条蓝线的方程,X是二者的交点,也就是说这点两个方程相等
