Yes, s and p orbitals can absolutely form sigma bond, as long at the p orbital is facing directly with it's lobe toward the spherical S orbital.
This picture will help you better understand the orientation (look at the middle figure in the related link).
If the p orbital is not facing this way "into" the s orbitals then there will be no sigma bond or any bond what so ever.

Why carbonyl group has only one sigma bond?
Carbonyl group consists of carbon attached to oxygen with double covalent bond in which one bond is formed head on and is the sigma bond(first bond formed in covalency is sigma), followed by lateral overlapping of orbitals to form pi bond with oxygen. The other two valencies of carbon are satisfied by sigma bonds each.
How many valence electrons occupy sigma bond orbitals an pi bond orbitals in c14h10?
26 sigma 7 pi
How do you predict a sigma or pi bond?
there are as many sigma bonds as bonds (of any kind, simple, double or triple). and there is 1 pi bond for each double bond and 2 pi bonds for each triple bond.
Which bond(s) shown are double bonds?
one sigma bond and one pi bond
How many sigma bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in methyl cation?
In methyl cation (CH3+), there are three sigma bond orbitals available for overlap with the vacant p orbital. These sigma bond orbitals originate from the three C-H bonds in the methyl group.
Is a pi bond or a sigma bond weaker?
A pi bond is weaker than a sigma bond.
How many sigma and pi bond are there in propyne?
There is a double bond between the two carbons, so that is one sigma bond and one pi bond. The hydrogen's all are sigma bonded to the carbons so there are four sigma bonds there. So, there is one pi bond overall and five sigma bonds overall.
The first bond in a covalent molecule is always the sigma bond?
A sigma bond is the bond in which two atoms share the electrons.
Which bond is more strong either sigma or pi?
A pi bond is a weaker bond as compare to sigma bond, because pi bond is formed by a minimum overlapping of the orbitals and depends upon length of sigma bond.
Double and triple covalent bonds have?
They have sigma and pi bonds When you have one bond, it's a sigma bond. When you have double bonds, you have 1 sigma and 1 pi bond When you have a triple bond, you have 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds.
Why is a carbon to carbon double bond not twice as strong as a single carbon bond?
A double bond consists of 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond, and a single bond consists of 1 sigma bond. Between a sigma bond and a pi bond, a sigma bond is stronger due to it's shorter bond length, thus, a C=C bond is not twice as strong as a C-C bond.
How many bonds are present in one double bond and one single bond?
There is a sigma and a pi bond in a double bond.Single bond has only a sigma bond.
How many sigma and pi bonds in H2so4?
2 sigma bonds & 0 pie bonds (I think not conformed)
What is the difference between a double bond and triple bond?
double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond triple bond contains one sigma bond and two pi bond
What is a sigma bond Describe with the aid of a diagram how the overlap of two half filled 1 s orbitals produces a sigma bond?
a sigma bond is a one to one bond that is the weakest type of bond. the two filled orbitals form a single bond to hold the two elements together
Is the single double or triple bond the strongest?
Bond strength follows this trend triple>double>single....Triple bonds have 2 pie bonds and 1 sigma bond, Double bonds have 1 pie bond and 1 sigma bond and single bonds have 1 sigma bond.
