So the 3 s 1, or any of the other electrons that are in the outer-most shell, those are what we call our valence electrons, and those are where all the excitement happens.

它们是经常发生激发情况的,那也是我们所看到，我们称之为价电子，它们是经常发生激发情况的。

If you want to understand whether compounds form or not look only at the valence shell.

如果你想理解化合物是否形成,而不仅仅只是看看价层。

So remember, that when we talked about Lewis structure, the organizing principle behind Lewis structures is the idea that within the molecule the atoms are going to arrange their valence electrons, such that each atom within the molecule has a complete octet or full outer shell.

记得，当我们讨论路易斯结构的时候，路易斯结构所遵循的组织原则是这样一种思路,那就是分子中的原子都倾向于,重新安排它们的价电子,使得分子有一个完整的,“八隅体“或者排满的外壳层。

We're getting further away from the nucleus because we're jumping, for example, from the n equals 2 to the n equals 3 shell, or from the n equals 3 to the n equals 4 shell.

我们将会离原子核越来越远,因为我们在跃迁，比如从，n，等于，2，的壳层到n等于，3，的壳层，或者从，n，等于，3，的壳层到n等于，4，的壳层。

Core electrons are all those electrons held in really tight with the nucleus in the inner shells, whereas the valence electrons are only those electrons that are in the outer-most shell, or at your highest value of n of the principal quantum number.

芯电子是那些,在内壳层被原子核束缚得非常紧的电子，而价电子只包括,最外层的电子，或者说主量子数，n，的值最大的那些电子。

The other main difference that we're really going to get to today is that in multi-electron atoms, orbital energies depend not just on the shell, which is what we saw before, not just on the value of n, but also on the angular momentum quantum l number. So they also depend on the sub-shell or l.

我们今天要讨论的,另一个很重要的区别就是,在多电子原子中，轨道能力不仅仅依赖于，我们以前看到的外层，不仅仅依赖于n的值，而是与角动量量子数也有关系,所以它们也依赖于亚外层或者。
