We can do the exact same thing when we talk about lithium, but now instead of breaking it up into two wave functions, we're breaking it up into three wave functions because we have three electrons.

在讨论锂时,我们也可以做，完全相同的事情,但不是把它分为两个波函数，而是分为三个波函数,因为我们有3个电子。

The reason that we can talk about this is remember that we're talking about wave functions, we're talking about waves, so we can have constructive interference in which two different orbitals can constructively interfere, we can also have destructive interference.

我们可以这么说的原因是,记住我们说的是波函数，我们说的是波函数，所以我们可以得到相长干涉,这是两个不同轨道会相长干涉，我们也有相消干涉。

So we can draw that for 1 s a, we can also draw it for 1 s b, and what I'm saying for the molecular wave function is that we have the interference between the two, and we have a constructive interference, so we end up adding these two wave functions together.

所以我们可以对1sa画出它来，我们也可以对1sb画出它来，对于分子波函数我要说的是,它们两者之间会干涉，这里我们有相长干涉，所以我们得到的是波两个波函数加起来。
