A chemical bond is a force that joins the atoms together. There are many different types of chemical bonds. Two main types of chemical bonds are sigma and Pi Bonds. The main difference between Pi and Sigma Bonds is due to their overlapping of atomic orbitals. The bond formed by the head-on overlapping of atomic orbitals is known as the Sigma Bond, while the bond while a Pi Bond is formed by the lateral overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
