In the quantum world, objects are described by wave functions.

在量子的世界中，物体都是以波函数来描述。

When we're talking about orbitals, we're talking about wave functions.

当我们说轨道的时候，我们说的是波函数。

Particles, such as pi-mesons, requiring symmetric wave functions are called bosons .

要求对称波函数的粒子，如介子，叫做玻色子。

We started talking about these on Wednesday, and what we're going to start with is considering specifically the wave functions for multi-electron atoms.

我们从周三开始讨论这些，而且我们将要以特别地考虑,多电子原子的波函数,为开始。

And we can also write this in an even simpler form, which is what's called electron configuration, and this is just a shorthand notation for these electron wave functions.

而且我们也可以将它，写为一个更简单的形式，它叫做电子构型,这个仅仅是这些电子波函数的。

So, we're talking about wave functions and we know that means orbitals, but this is -- probably the better way to think about is the physical interpretation of the wave function.

我们讨论波函数而且,我们知道它代表着轨道，但-也许更好的思考方法是,考虑波函数的物理意义。
