In ethylene, there are two types of bonds. Sigma (tr) bonds have the overlap of the orbitals on a line between the two atoms involved in the covalent bond. In ethylene, the C-H bonds and one of the C-C bonds are sigma bonds. Pi (ir) bonds have the overlap of orbitals above and below a line through the two nuclei of the atoms involved in the bond. A double bond is always composed of one sigma and one pi bond. A carbon-to-carbon triple bond results from the

Table 5.1 also includes the types of hybridization for each of the basic shapes which are used in VSEPR and valence bond theories. Hybridization, or mixing of the indicated atomic orbitals, in each case produces hybrid orbitals that radiate from the central atom to where the ligand atoms are situated. This is done to ensure that there are localized... 

In the valence bond theory, hybridization of orbitals is an integral part of bond formation. As we shall see, the concept need not be explicitly considered in molecular orbital theory but may be helpful in visualizing the process of bond formation. 

There are two quantum mechanical explanations for covalent bond formation valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory. In valence bond theory, hybridized atomic orbitals are formed by the combination and rearrangement of orbitals from the same atom. The hybridized orbitals are aU of equal energy and electron density, and the number of hybridized orbitals is equal to the number of pure atomic orbitals that combine.
