So, saying wave functions within molecules might sound a little confusing, but remember we spent a lot of time talking about wave functions within atoms, and we know how to describe that, we know that a wave function just means an atomic orbital.

说分子内的波函数可能,听着有点容易搞混，但记住我们花了很多时间,讨论了原子中的波函数，而且我们知道如何去描述它，我们知道波函数意味着原子轨道。

And what we end up forming is a molecular orbital, because as we bring these two atomic orbitals close together, the part between them, that wave function, constructively interferes such that in our molecular orbital, we actually have a lot of wave function in between the two nuclei.

最后我们得到了分子轨道，因为当我们把这两个原子轨道放在一起的时候，它们之间的部分，波函数，相干相加，所以在分子轨道里，我们在两个原子核之间有很多波函数。
