All right, so that's really all there is to thinking about valence bond theory in terms of the most simple explanation here.

好了，这就是,价电子轨道理论的,最简单的解释。

And to do this we're going to introduce valence bond theory, and the idea of hybridization of orbitals.

在这之前我们要引入价电子成键理论，和杂化轨道的概念。

In valence bond theory, the focus is on discussing the bonds, but it should look very familiar to you, because there's two types of bonds that we want to discuss here.

在价电子成键理论中，所关注的是讨论成键，但这对于你们来说应该很熟悉，因为这是我们要讨论的两种键。

So, we can think about now how do we describe this bond in valence bond theory.

我们现在可以考虑,怎么在价电子成键理论中描述这个键。

So, using our simple valence bond theory, what we would expect is that we want to pair up any unpaired electrons in methane with unpaired electrons from hydrogen and form bonds.

利用简单的价电子成键理论，我们预计,要把所有甲烷中没有配对的电子,和氢原子中没有配对的电子配对来形成键。

So we're going to finish talking about molecular orbital theory, we'll switch over to discussing bonding in larger molecules, even larger than diatomic, so we'll move on to talking about valence bond theory and hybridization.

我们要结束关于分子轨道理论的讨论，转向讨论大分子的成键，比二原子分子更大的分子，我们会继续讨论价电子成键理论,和杂化。
