Answer:

In the case of s and p orbitals, there can be three types of overlap. s – s orbital overlap (formation of H2 molecule): The mutual overlap between the half-filled s orbitals of two atoms is called s – s overlap and the covalent bond formed is known as sigma (s) bond. e.g. formation of a hydrogen molecule from two hydrogen atoms.
