SIGMA bond is formed by lateral overlapping
A SIGMA bond alone can exist in a molecule, but PI bond cannot.
How to calculate number of Pi and sigma bonds in molecule.
Every single bond in a molecule is formed by sigma bond.
Every double bond in a molecule is formed by a sigma bond and a Pi bond.
On the basis of this number of sigma and Pi bonds can be calculated.
Eg:
Number of Sigma Bonds: 3
Number of π bonds : 1
