So even though we see a nodal plane down the center, I just want to really point out that it's only when we have a nodal plane in the internuclear or the bond axis that we're calling that a pi orbital.

虽然在中间有个节面，我想要指出的是,只有节面在核间轴,或者键轴上时,我们才叫它π轨道。

Pi orbitals are a molecular orbital that have a nodal plane through the bond axis.

轨道是沿着键轴,有节面的分子轨道。

So pi bonds have electron density both above and below the bond axis, but they actually have a nodal plane at this z, this bond axis here.

键在键轴之上,和之下都有电子密度，但它们在z方向有节面，这是键轴的地方。

But in sigma orbitals, you have no nodal planes along the bond axis, so if we had a nodal plane here, we'd see an area where the wave function was equal to zero.

但在sigma轨道里，沿着轴向是没有节点平面的，如果我们有个节点，我们就会看到某个地方波函数等于0。

So again, we can name these molecular orbitals and these we're going to call also to point out there is now a bond axis along this nodal plane, which is something we didn't see before when we were combining the s orbitals.

同样的，我们可以,命名这些分子轨道,这些轨道叫做-同样要指出的是,现在沿着键轴是一个节点面，这是我们讨论s轨道的时候,从没有看到过的。
