A sigma bond is defined as head to head overlapping while pie bond is defined as sidewise overlapping
oR


Sigma bond (σ bonds) . The covalent bond formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis is called sigma bond. The overlapping orbitals are oriented along the internuclear axis. The bond is rotationally symmetrical around the internuclear axis It is stronger than pi bond

( pi bond ) The covalent bond formed by the lateral overlap of two p orbitals which are mutually parallel but oriented perpendicular to the internuclear axis is called a pi bond. The overlapping orbitals are oriented perpendicular to the inter nuclear axis.The bond is not rotationally symmetrical around the internuclear axis. Only p orbitals can form this bond It is weaker than a sigma bond
