Sigma bonds (single bonds) are formed as a result of the overlapping of s orbitals.
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.
When atomic orbitals combine constructively, they create bonding molecular orbitals, which are stable. However, when they combine destructively, they form antibonding molecular orbitals, which are less stable. This is due to the phase relationship between the atomic orbitals.
Bonding orbitals result from the overlap of atomic orbitals, leading to the formation of stable covalent bonds in a molecule. Nonbonding orbitals do not participate in bonding and can affect the molecule's shape and reactivity. Antibonding orbitals have higher energy levels and can weaken or destabilize the bonds in a molecule. Overall, the balance between bonding and antibonding interactions determines the stability and reactivity of a molecule.
A molecule formed from a sulfur atom (S) with atomic number 16 and a hydrogen atom (H) with atomic number 1 would result in hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In this molecule, two hydrogen atoms bond with a sulfur atom to form a covalent bond.
This is the basis of Organic Chemistry. An sp3 hybrid orbital can overlap with another and the result is a COVALENT bond

Hybridization is considered an exception to typical bonding behavior because it involves the mixing of different atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals with unique shapes and energy levels. This process allows for the formation of stronger and more stable bonds than what would result from purely atomic orbitals.
When p orbitals become delocalized to form pi bonds, they typically create a system of overlapping p orbitals that can extend over multiple atoms. In a conjugated system, for example, each p orbital contributes to the delocalized pi system, resulting in one pi orbital for each participating p orbital. Therefore, the number of resulting delocalized pi orbitals corresponds to the number of adjacent atoms with p orbitals involved in the delocalization.

The correct answer is ''Interference"
This is the basis of Organic Chemistry. An sp3 hybrid orbital can overlap with another and the result is a COVALENT bond
this theory was put forward by Heitler and London in 1927 and further developed by Pauling and others according to this theory A covalent bond is formed by partial overlap of two half filled atomic orbitals containing electrovs with opposite spins
There will be either constructive or destructive interference.
Hybridization in brief can be said as inter mixing of orbitals. But you may have questions such as why? where ? when it happens and what exactly it is? Its very simple for example as in your question consider methane. The carbon atom has 2 electrons in 1s orbital and; 2 electrons in 2s orbital and; 1 electron in 2px orbital and; 1 electron in 2py orbital.In methane before carbon atom undergo bonding with hydrogen it undergoes hybridization ,that is 2s orbitals and 2p orbitals combines or hybridizes and for methane it is sp3 hybridization that means an s orbital had combined with 3 of the 2p orbitals (2px,2py,2pz). It has an tetrahedral arrangement (like four corners of a triangular pyramid) of four lobes of angles approx 109.5 degrees(The angle between H-C-H). After hybridization you cannot differentiate s orbital and p orbital.And in that sp3 hybrid each lobe has one electron and all the lobes bond with hydrogen atoms containing single electron.Note that all the lobes must be treated as an orbital such that they can maximum hold only of two electrons.Thus methane is formed as an result of head on collision of sp3 hybrids and hydrogen atoms.
