A Sigma bond is a chemical bond formed by the linear or co-axial overlapping of the atomic orbitals of two atoms.
Sigma bonds are known to exist independently and allow free rotation
Sigma bonds are stronger bonds.
Pi Bonds ( π )
A pi bond is a type of covalent bond that exists between atoms where the electrons are on top and bottom of the axis connecting the nuclei of the joined atoms.
It is formed by the parallel or lateral overlapping of the atomic orbitals.
Pi-bond must always exist along with sigma bond and the rotation is restricted.
Pi bonds are usually weaker compared to sigma bonds.
