So now we're just counting up our orbitals, an orbital is completely described by the 3 quantum numbers.

所以现在我们只要把这些轨道加起来，一个轨道是由３个量子数完全确定的。

The reason there are three quantum numbers is we're describing an orbital in three dimensions, so it makes sense that we would need to describe in terms of three different quantum numbers.

我们需要，3个量子数的原因,是因为我们描述的是一个，三维的轨道，所以我们需要，3个不同的量子数,来描述它。

So, molecular orbital theory, on the other hand, is based on quantum mechanics.

另一方面分子轨道理论，是基于量子力学的。

And we also, when we solved or we looked at the solution to that Schrodinger equation, what we saw was that we actually needed three different quantum numbers to fully describe the wave function of a hydrogen atom or to fully describe an orbital.

此外，当我们解波函数,或者考虑薛定谔方程的结果时，我们看到的确３个不同的量子数,完全刻画了氢原子,的波函数或者说轨道。

Remember, we need those three quantum numbers to completely describe the orbital.

要知道，我们需要三个量子数,才能完全描述一个轨道。

So we can completely describe an orbital with just using three quantum numbers, but we have this fourth quantum number that describes something about the electron that's required for now a complete description of the electron, and that's the idea of spin.

所以我们可以用３个,量子数完全刻画轨道，但我们有这第四个量子数,来完整的,描述电子，这就是自旋的概念。

l So, if we're talking about a 4 p orbital, and our equation is n minus 1 minus l, the principle quantum number is 1 4, 1 is 1 -- what is l for a p orbital?

我们方程是n减去1减去，主量子数是，4，1是1，--p轨道的l是多少？,学生：
