Recall that a sigma bond is a single bond where two orbitals have significant overlap. For alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds only) all carbon atoms have an #sp^3# orbital hybridization. The #sp^3# arrangement creates 4 hybridized orbitals that are #109.5^@# apart from one another with a tetrahedral geometry.
Consider Ethane (#CH3CH3#)

Ethane has 4 sigma bonds for each carbon (one to the other carbon, three to each hydrogen). With the

hybridization, there is no way to a double bond between the carbons without causing significant strain and interference.
Consider the orbitals for ethene (
