And, at the other extreme, we have elements with very high value, elements with high average valence electron energy.

另外，在另一端，我们有原子序数较大的元素，这些元素有着较高的平均化合价和电子能。

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。

So, when the value of the average valence electron energy lies between 11 eV and 13 eV, we have these elements that are neither fish nor fowl, and you'll see in a little bit their unique electrical properties.

所以，当平均价电子能,在11eV到13eV之间时，这些元素介于金属和非金属之间，你们将进一步,看到它们独特的电性质。
