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。

Another way to represent a point in a plane is I've got a radius and I've got an angle from the x-axis, right, and that's a standard thing you might do.

平面上面的点的方法,也就是极坐标,上面那种方法其实是，如果你们喜欢我这么说的话,笛卡尔坐标表示法。

The reason that I wanted to point out this nodal plane here is because this is why it is called a pi orbital.

我指出这个节面的原因是因为,它就是为什么这个叫做π轨道的原因。
