The yz plane is a nodal plane of the 3d_xy orbital, so the electron density there is zero.
The d_xy orbital has four lobes that lie in the xy plane, pointing between (bisecting) the x and y axes. A nodal plane is a plane on which the probability of finding the electron (the electron density) is exactly zero. …
