Light reaches a molecule in water, and something strange begins.
electron、proton、solvent、reorganize 和 catalyst 这几个词。还要分清 proton-coupled electron transfer 是一种反应机制的名称,不是某个已经完成的装置。electron:电子;带负电的粒子proton:质子;通常可理解为带正电的氢原子核solvent:溶剂;这里主要指水reorganize:重新排列,重组reaction:化学反应transfer:转移ultrafast:超快的hydrogen bond:氢键catalyst:催化剂energy conversion:能量转换The water molecules around the reacting molecule reorganize as the molecule gains a proton.The water molecules reorganize,意思是“水分子重新排列”。around the reacting molecule 说明这些水分子位于反应分子周围;as the molecule gains a proton 表示“随着这个分子获得一个质子”。整句强调,反应变化不只发生在中心分子内部,周围的水也会跟着调整。This story was produced automatically by a channel.
