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.

Why pi bonds are more diffused than sigma bonds?
Pi bond is considered to be more diffused than Sigma bonds becauseSigma bonds are shorterProbability of finding an electron in a Sigma bond is greater on the inter-nuclear axis.
What bond restricts rotation about the axis of double or triple bonds?
Double and triple bonds each have another type of bond different from the initial single bond present between the two bonded atoms. The sigma bond, the initial single bond, is formed through a head-on overlap of two atomic orbitals. Rotation about this bond does not change the overlap, and so rotation is allowed.But double and triple bonds have pi bonds, formed by side-on overlap between the atomic orbitals (typically either p or d orbitals). These bonds surround the sigma bond and were rotation to occur, the orbitals involved with the pi bonds would cease to overlap and these bonds would be broken.Therefore, the specific bond that restricts rotation about the axis of a double or triple bond would be the pi bond(s) involved.
What is the Lewis dot structure of S3-?
Each of the S atoms is sp3 hybridized and makes two sigma bonds with the other sulfur atoms. Each S has two localized electron pairs in the non-bonding sp3 orbitals.
A carbon can form single and double and triple bonds with each other so why not a quad bond?
When there is a triple bond between two carbon atoms then one is sigma bond, supposed overlapping of orbitals is at the X-axis, the remaining two are pi bonds formed by overlapping of atomic orbitals at Y and Z axes, there is no further axis and further 'p' orbital for the formation of 4th 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?
Sigma bond is nothing but the overlap of half filled atomic orbitals along the nuclear axis. In the case of two half filled 1s orbitals... the electrons approch each other as well as repells... because of nucleus(attraction) and the other electron(repulsion). so they stay in the middle of these two opposing forces and forms a bond so called sigma bond.

Methane CH4 contains four carbon hydrogen single bonds what is the best description of these bonds?
Overlap of each hydrogen 1s orbital with four sp3 hybridized orbitals yielding four sigma bonds.

What sigma bonds does CH4 contain?
Four sigma bonds. One between the carbon and each hydrogen in turn.
What is the Lewis dot structure of S3-?
Each of the S atoms is sp3 hybridized and makes two sigma bonds with the other sulfur atoms. Each S has two localized electron pairs in the non-bonding sp3 orbitals.
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 sigma and pi bonds in H2so4?
2 sigma bonds & 0 pie bonds (I think not conformed)
What is the total number of bonds formed by one of tha carbon atoms in a butane molecule?
In a butane molecule each of the carbon forms four sigma bonds .The terminal carbon forms three sigma bonds with hydrogen and one sigma bond with carbon and the rest of the each of the carbon atoms form two sigma bonds with carbon and two sigma bonds with hydrogen .In total there are thirteen butane molecules in a sigma bond
Ethyne C2H2 contains one carbon - carbon triple bond What is the best description of this bond?
Overlap of one sp2 hybrid orbital on each atom to form a sigma bond and a p orbital on each atom to form a pi bond.
Does a pi bond consist of two pairs of electrons?
Pi bonds are contained in double and triple bonds. In a double bond, there is 1 pi bond (and 1 sigma bond for all intents and purposes). In a triple bond, there are 2 pi bonds (and 1 sigma bond).
