In nuclear chemistry it simply has to do with keeping the nucleus together.

在核化学中， 它只与将原子核保持在一起有关。

This is known as binding energy and it's one of the fundamental principles of nuclear chemistry.

这被称为结合能， 它是核化学的基本原理之一。

So as you can tell, there is plenty of room for new ideas in nuclear chemistry.

因此，正如您所知， 核化学中有很多新想法的空间。

But the very fact that it is possible, should clue you in that nuclear chemistry is an entirely different flavor of chemistry sauce.

但事实上它是可能的， 应该告诉你核化学是一种完全不同的化学酱汁。

Though, as with non nuclear chemistry, the changes that take place in a nuclear reaction all come down to the atom's desire to have what we all want in life, stability.

不过，与非核化学一样，核反应中发生的变化都归结为原子渴望拥有我们所有人都想要的生活，即稳定。

Now I'm not going to lie to you, nuclear chemistry is terribly complicated, but we have a way of understanding it that, while not exactly simple, is one I'm sure you've heard of.

现在我不想骗你， 核化学非常复杂，但我们有一种理解它的方法， 虽然不是很简单， 但我相信你已经听说过。

Before we get into the nuts and bolts of nuclear chemistry, like nuclear fission and why it's so awesome as well as fusion and why it's so hard to do, we'll first get to know radioactivity.

在我们深入核化学的具体细节之前，比如核裂变， 为什么它和聚变一样棒， 为什么这么难做， 我们首先要了解放射性。
