Now, the process starts as I sniff molecules up into my nose. This means that for you to be able to smell something, the odorant must be volatile, or in a gaseous state to get sucked up into your nostrils.

现在，当我把分子吸进鼻子时，个过程就开。意味着你要能闻什么，味必须是挥发性的，或者处于态，被吸进鼻孔。

And we saw in the video on ionization energy, that's why this has a low ionization energy, it doesn't take much energy, in a gaseous state, to remove an electron from sodium.

我们在电离能的视频，就是为什么钠具有较低的电离能，它在态时只需很少的能量就能移除一个电子。

It can be formed in the gaseous state by an equilibrium reaction between hydrogen gas and fluorine gas.

它可以通过氢和氟之间的平衡反应以态形成。

Or if you, kind of, if you burn this carbon, you can get it to a gaseous state.

或者，如果你把种碳烧一下，你可以让它变成态。
