Here's the answer...

Explanation:

color(red)(sigma) "bonds"σbonds are the formed by the overlapping of the (s-p)(s−p) or, (s-s)(s−s) orbitals by head on overlapping...such as in the picture...

" " (P-P) OVERLAPPING

These three types of structure are mainly involved in producing color(red)(sigma)"bonds"σbonds....which emans single bonds...

But some time we see that there is C-=C C≡C bonds or, C=CC=C bonds...
" " Here in the first case ,there is one sigmaσ bond but the other bond is the piπ bond who contains loose electrons but strengthens the whole bond formation...
" " In the 2nd2nd case there is two pi πbonds... which produces by following type of overlapping(color(red)("(side-wise overlapping)"(side-wise overlapping)...

my notebook
" " (P-P) SIDE-WISE OVERLAPPING

Hope it helps...
Thank you...
