In his view, when you dug deeply enough into the battery s physical chemistry, thatchemistry did not explain how it worked.
在他看来,越是深入研究电池的物理化学特性,这些化学特性反而越不能解释电池到底是怎么工作的。
A lead-acid battery is a collection of cells, each of which contains two electrodes immersedin a strong solution of sulphuric acid.
铅酸电池是电池单元构成的集合,其中每个电池都有两个电极,浸泡在硫酸溶液的电解液里。
One of the electrodes is composed of metallic lead, the other of porous lead dioxide.
金属铅充当一处电极,另一处电极是多孔二氧化铅。
In the parlance of chemists, metallic lead is electropositive.
化学家认为,金属铅是电正性物质。
This means that when it reacts with the acid, it tends to lose some of its electrons.
这表明,当铅和酸发生反应时,它很可能失去一些电子。
Lead dioxide, on the other hand, is highly electronegative, preferring to absorb electrons inchemical reactions.
而另一方面,二氧化铅是电负性物质,在化学反应中更喜欢吸收电子。
If a conductive wire is run between the two, electrons released by the lead will run through ittowards the lead dioxide, generating an electrical current as they do so.
