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。

This should make sense to you, because they don't, in fact, want to gain another electron, because that would mean that electron would have to go into a new value of n, a new shell, and that's really going to increase the energy of the system.

这对大家来说应该容易理解，因为它们实际上不想得到另一个电子，因为这意味着这个电子不得不,到一个新的，n，值更大的壳层上去，这将会增加系统的能量。

And when you talk about n for an orbital, it's talking about the shell that shell is kind of what you picture when you think of a classical picture of an atom where you have 1 energy level, the next one is further out, the next one's further away.

当你们谈到，某个轨道的n时，你们说的是壳层，壳层就是,你想象，一个原子,的经典图像时的场景,你有一个能级，下一个再更远的地方，再下一个又更远。
