Sigma Bond
A covalent bond formed when an electron pair is shared by direct overlap of bonding orbitals
Real World Example
Imagine trying to fit two puzzle pieces together perfectly so they click into place. This is similar to how a sigma bond forms when two atoms' orbitals overlap directly, allowing them to share an electron pair seamlessly. Just as the puzzle pieces must align correctly to create a stable picture, the orbitals must align directly for the electron pair to be shared effectively, creating a stable bond between the atoms.
