There might yet be a lower energy state we don't see.

可能还有一个我们看不到的更低的能态。

This happens because the atoms are falling into lower and lower energy states as they cool down.

这是因为原子在冷却时进入越来越低的能量状态。

So the first electron wants to go into the lowest energy state.

所以第一个电子想要进入最低能态。

And then the first two, or the electrons in the lowest energy state, will be 1s2.

然后前两个，或处于最低能态的电子，将是 1s2。

And two electrons can fit in that first energy state, or that first sub-orbital, or that first shell.

两个电子可以适合第一个能量状态，或者第一个子轨道，或者第一个壳层。

And that model is actually useful, at least it's useful in my brain, to conceptualize the idea of energy states.

该模型实际上很有用，至少在我的大脑中有用，可以概念化能量状态的概念。

They're at their lowest energy state when they're lining up together, positive to negative, into a kind of liquid crystal.

当它们排列在一起时， 它们处于最低能量状态，从正到负，形成一种液晶。

And it might stay there or it might just want to go back to its lower energy state.

它可能会留在那里，或者可能只想回到较低的能量状态。

So you might say, oh, the lowest energy state is this magenta inner sphere that I just drew.

所以你可能会说，哦，最低能量状态是我刚刚画的这个洋红色内球。

And so it will go to the next energy state.

因此它将进入下一个能量状态。
