Sigma bonds (σ bonds) can be formed by an orbit as well as p orbit. This bond decides the shape of the molecule, the overlapping at the internuclear axis allows the molecule to rotate around its axis which gives it a rotational symmetry. The relativity of the compound formed is inversely proportional to some sigma bonds (σ bonds), whereas the stability of the compound is directly proportional to the number of sigma bonds (σ bonds). It is formed when the head of atomic orbital’s overlaps with each other along the internuclear axis of the atoms. It is the strongest type of covalent bond formed between two atoms. Sigma bonds (σ bonds) are one of a type of covalent bonding of atom. Sigma bond is also written as σ bond because symbol σ is a Greek letter used for sigma. In the case of the pi bond (πbond), a single bond contains only one pi bond (π bond), whereas multiple bonds like double bond have two pi bonds (π bonds) and triple bond has three pi bonds (π bonds).

In the case of sigma bond (σ bond), a single bond contains only one sigma bonds (σ bonds), following that multiple bonds like double bond and triple bond also contain only one sigma bonds (σ bonds). Pi bond (πbond) cannot rotate around an internuclear. Sigma bond (σ bond) can rotate around the internuclear axis. Pi bond (πbond) decide the length of the molecule. Sigma bond (σ bond) decides the shape of molecule. Pi bond(π bond) is formed by the overlapping of atomic orbitals. Sigma bond (σ bond) is formed when the head of atomic orbitals overlaps with each other along the internuclear axis of the atoms. Pi bond (πbond) is a weaker type of covalent bond as compared to sigma bonds (σ bonds). Sigma bond (σ bond) is the strongest type of covalent bond formed between two atoms.
