In sigma bond linear overlapping occurs while in pi bond parallel overlapping occurs.
Explanation:
in sigma bond the bonding occurs by the linear overlap of the orbitals whereas in the pi bond parallel overlapping occurs.
Electron density is maximum between the nuclei of bonded atoms in sigma bond as compared to the pi bond.
