Subjective Type

Between two similar or dissimilar atoms, only one sigma bond is possible whereas two pi bonds can be formed between them. Explain.

Solution

Only one sigma bond is possible and two pi bond is because after forming side on side in equitorial direction, remaining bond can be formed in $${ 90 }^{ 0 }$$ to the actual bond i.e. end on end overlap takes place.
