So, in talking about covalent bonds, we should be able to still apply a more general definition of a chemical bond, which should tell us that the h 2 molecule is going to be lower in energy than if we looked at 2 separate hydrogen atom molecules.

那么，既然提到了共价键，我们应该还可以,给化学键下一个更普遍的定义,那就是告诉我们氢分子能量应该更低,与两个分开的氢的单原子分子相比。

So, we're going to start with talking about bonding, and any time we have a chemical bond, basically what we're talking about is having two atoms where the arrangement of their nuclei and their electrons are such that the bonded atoms results in a lower energythan for the separate atoms.

那么，下面我们将从成键开始讲起，无论什么时候我们有一个化学键，基本上我们所讨论的,都是如何安排两个原子的原子核的位置,与电子的位置使得成键的两个原子,最终比分开时的能量更低。

So the point is, this balance between energy thatyou could think of as say bond energies in chemical reactions, and entropy that you can think of in terms of disorder, how many different possible combinations or configurations of something wrong, will dictate where the equilibrium lies.

关键在于，这种能量与熵之间的平衡,确定了平衡的条件，在化学中能量涉及键能，而熵和无序有关,即有多少可能的不同组合或者形位，二者的平衡会告诉我们平衡态是什么样子。

So what actually turns out the reality is that h e 2 does exist, but it exists as the weakest chemical bond known, and it wasn't, in fact, even found to exist until 1993, so I can assure you this is not a bond that you see very often in nature, and it is a very, very weak bond.

实际上He2键是存在的，但它是目前所知的最弱的键，直到1993年它才被发现，所以我可以向你们保证在,自然界你们不可能经常看到它，它是种非常非常弱得键。
