Presumably, you mean 'between each other'
there's not enough room is the simple answer. Can have other bonds between the two atoms, such as pi bonds ,or a pair even, forming a double or triple bond.
A single atom, however, can have several sig bonds, for example, Carbon can form 4 with 4 Hydrogens to make methane.

Does Sp3 orbitals have a pi bond?
no, hybrid orbitals cant form pi bonds. they can form only sigma bonds
Why a triple bond should not have 2 sigma bonds?
Sigma bonds lie along the bond axis - between any two atoms you can only have one sigma bond along the axis. Triple bonds encountered in organic chemistry have 1 sigma and two pi bonds( pi bons are "at right angles" to one another and the electron density is between the atoms but does not lie along the bond axis.
How many sigma bonds can the two sets of 2p orbitals make with each other?
Assuming you mean two sets of p orbitals on adjacent atoms only one sigma bond can be formed, by the p orbitals that point between the atoms to form an axial bond. The lobes that are at right angles , ( two unused p orbitals on each atom) could form pi bonds.
Can three atoms form ionic bond?
Only two different atoms with opposite electrical charge can form an ionic bond.
What type of bond for formula 2H?
H-H A covalent bond and one sigma bond between the two hydrogen atoms as they only have the one electron apiece to share in the covalent bond.

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.
What is a triple bond?
A covalent bond between 2 atoms where each atom contributes 3 electronsApex :3
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.
Which combination of bonds is present in this molecule 0 equals 0 1 sigma bond only 1sigma bond andpi bond 2 pi bonds or 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds?
The molecule O=O is an O2 molecule. Oxygen is a diatomic compound, which means, that in nature, you will find oxygen only in the following form - O2, and not as O alone. The answer to your question is - 1 sigma bond and 1 pie bond. The bond formed between the two atoms is a covalent bond: The covalent bond is essentially formed by a balance of electrostatic repulsion and attraction forces - while the two nucleuses and the electrons of each atom repulse each other, the nucleuses each attract electrons. If the atoms are close enough to one another, they will form a covalent bond, sharing electron pairs. When the covalent bond is formed, the incomplete orbitals of each atom combine. For example - in the case, each hydrogen atom has a 1s orbital with only one electron, and strives to complete that orbital with a second electron. When the two hydrogen atoms bond, they share a 1s orbital, containing both electrons, the bond is called a sigma bond. This theory is known as the molecular orbital theory. When two atoms bond, they can share more than one electron pair, for example, in the case of , in which each oxygen atom "donates" two electrons to the covalent bond, filling the 2p orbital of both. This is called a double bond, containing one sigma bond and one pie bond. The sigma bond is stronger, and less likely to break. However, the pie bond compresses the bond and makes the two atoms closer to one another. A triple bond is also possible.
Why distinguishes single double and triple covalent bonds?
A single covalent bond results when 2 electrons are shared between 2 atoms. A double bond results when 4 electrons are shared between 2 atoms, and a triple bond results when 6 electrons are shared between 2 atoms.
What produces a metallic bond?
Only metal atoms have the ability to form metallic bonds.
How many bonds do hydrogen atoms have?
A hydrogen atom can form only one bond.
