Sigma and Pi Bonds

Sigma (σ) type overlap, and pi (π) type overlap.
Sigma overlap is when 2 electrons in a bond are localized between 2 nuclei (along the internuclear axis)
Formed from the end-to-end overlap of hybridized orbitals (or orbitals s orbital for H)
Pi overlap is when 2 electrons are localized in the region above and below the plane formed by 2 bonded nuclei (occurs above and below the internuclear axis)
Formed from side to side alignment of unhybridized p orbitals in adjacent atoms to form a bond
