| Abstract: | A discussion on an apparent MO theory paradox, concerning the probability of positioning a particle within a nodal plane,
is carried out in terms of particle confinement probability within finite thickness slabs encompassing the plane in question.
It is also discussed how using extended wave functions, the joint position plus kinetic resultant probability distribution,
just fulfilling the uncertainty principle, produces a compensating effect on the particle probability of sharing position
or momentum within the two half‐spaces delimited by the considered nodal plane.
