And today we'll finish that discussion, and, of course, point out actually the failure of classical mechanics to appropriately describe what's going on in an atom.

结束这部分的讨论，当然的，要指出经典力学,在描述原子内部,情况时是失败的。

Also, when we're looking at the Schrodinger equation, it allows us to explain a stable hydrogen atom, which is something that classical mechanics did not allow us to do.

当我们看一个薛定谔方程的时候，它给出一个稳定的氢原子,这是在经典力学中做不到的。

And, as I mentioned, we left off and as we started back here to describe the atom and how the atom holds together the nucleus and the electron using classical mechanics.

我之前提及过，我们上次,讲到应用经典力学如何描述,一个原子以及原子如何把质子,和电子束缚在一起，今天我们要。

And the reason that quantum mechanics is going to work where classical mechanics fails is that classical mechanics did not take into account the fact that matter has both wave-like and particle-like properties, and light has both wave-like and particle-like properties.

上发生的行为,量子力学得以成功,而经典力学却失败的原因,是因为经典力学,不能包容物质的，波动性和粒子性,和光的波动性和粒子性。
