How could you predict the presence of a sigma or pi bond in a molecule?

The presence of a sigma will be centered ( with the shared electrons) between the two atoms, such as in water H2O, the sigma will remain between the water and the hydrogen. It will remain in a bonding orbital between the two, the bonding orbital is the region where bonding electrons are likely to be found.
As far a pi bond, you know already that there needs to be sigma in order to have a pi, if you have a double bond you can assume that there is one sigma and one pi, if there is a triple bond, you can assume that there will be one sigma and two pi. That's the best way I can explain it, .
