The σ* orbital has a nodal plane that is between the nuclei and perpendicular to the internuclear axis.
The π* orbital also has a nodal plane between the nuclei.
An MO having a nodal plane is like the conclusion that employees walk down aisles and not through shelves.
These orbitals share a nodal plane which passes through both of the involved nuclei.
The lens asymmetry causes an offset between the nodal plane and pupil positions.
Only one of the orbital's nodal planes passes through both of the involved nuclei.
The next step, f-orbitals, will have 3 nodal planes.
Remember, it has to have 3 nodal planes.
This occurs when their nodal planes are coplanar.
In certain organic molecules π-orbitals interact to produce a common nodal plane.
