According to reference books and lecture notes, they mentioned that the two pi-orbitals of acetylene overlap and become a cylinder (donut) in shape so that the pi electrons can circulate along the C-C bond axis.
If we figure out the overlapping between these two pi-orbitals, because of the sign of each lobe, there should be a nodal plane in each new orbital after the interaction. Therefore, circulation of e- will be blocked.
So, how to explain the continuity of circulation of e-?
Is it the signs of orbitals can be ignored? But why?
