difference between Sigma bond and PI bond Sigma. bond is formed by the axial overlap of atomic orbital whereas. ... the overlap of P orbitals only Sigma. bond is stronger because overlapping can take place to a larger extent whereas PI bond is weaker.

Answer:
sigma bond:
➡️A sigma bond is formed by the axial overlap of orbitals.
➡️extent of overlapping is more hence the bond is stronger.
➡️A sigma bond involves overlap pf s-s ,s-p, p-p orbitals.
➡️free rotation of atoms is possible across a sigma bond.
pi bond:
➡️A pi bond is formed by the side ways overlap of orbitals.
➡️ extent of overlaping is less hence the bond is weak.
➡️A pi bond involves the overlap of p orbitals only.
➡️ there is no free rotation of atoms across a pi bond.
Hope it helps ✔︎✔️.
