Covalent chemical bonds {sigma bond}| {sigma bonding orbital} can overlap atom s orbital and other-atom 1s or 2s orbital, 1p or 2p orbital, or s-p hybrid orbital, with constructive interference and electrons between nuclei. Sigma bonding orbitals are symmetric around line joining the atomic nuclei. Atom s orbital can overlap other-atom 1s or 2s orbital, 1p or 2p orbital, or s-p hybrid orbital {sigma antibonding orbital}, with destructive interference and electrons not between nuclei.
