Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Sigma bond : it is a type of covalent bond which is formed by end to end overlap of bonding orbitals along the inter nuclear axis. It is of three types:

1. s-s overlap

2. s-p overlap

3. p-p overlap

Pi bond: it is a type of covalent bond which is formed by overlap of bonding orbitals in such a way that their axes remain parallel to the each other and perpendicular to the inter nuclear axis. The orbitals are formed by sideways overlapping.
