By the overlap of atomic orbitals. In valence bond theory these atomic orbitals may be s, p or d orbitals or "hybrids" such as sp3.
This is a complex area and the above is a very simple explanation.
In a chlorine molecule (Cl2), there is one sigma bond and one pi bond. The sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while the pi bond is formed by the sideways overlap of p orbitals.
no, hybrid orbitals cant form pi bonds. they can form only sigma bonds
A C-C sigma bond formed by sp2-sp2 overlap is stronger than one formed by sp3-sp3 overlap because the sp2 hybrid orbitals have a greater s-character (33%) compared to sp3 orbitals (25%), leading to more effective overlap and stronger bonding. This higher s-character causes the sp2-sp2 bond to be shorter and stronger than the sp3-sp3 bond.
2 sigma bonds & 0 pie bonds (I think not conformed)
If it is a double bond: Yes!, e.g. in H2C=O (formaldehyde, methanal)But in a single bond: No!, e.g. in H3C-O-H (methanol): Single bonds are sigma!
In a chlorine molecule (Cl2), there is one sigma bond and one pi bond. The sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of atomic orbitals, while the pi bond is formed by the sideways overlap of p orbitals.
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.

A C-C sigma bond formed by sp2-sp2 overlap is stronger than one formed by sp3-sp3 overlap because the sp2 hybrid orbitals have a greater s-character (33%) compared to sp3 orbitals (25%), leading to more effective overlap and stronger bonding. This higher s-character causes the sp2-sp2 bond to be shorter and stronger than the sp3-sp3 bond.

In a triple bond, one sigma bond is formed from the direct overlap of two atomic orbitals, while the other two pi bonds are formed by the sideways overlap of p-orbitals. So, in total, there are one sigma bond and two pi bonds in a triple bond.
In a carbon-carbon triple bond, there is one sigma bond and two pi bonds. The sigma bond is formed by end-to-end overlap of two sp hybridized orbitals, while the two pi bonds are formed by the sideways overlap of two sets of p orbitals.
if C is the carbon of an alkane, then a sigma bond is formed. if C is the carbon of an alkene or alkyne, then a sigma bond form carbon to metal and a pi-back bonding from metal to carbon will exist.
Sigma bonds are generally stronger than pi bonds because sigma bonds have a greater overlap of atomic orbitals along the bond axis, providing stronger bonding interaction. Pi bonds involve side-to-side overlap of p orbitals, which is less efficient in terms of overlap than the head-on overlap of sigma bonds.
The carbon-carbon double bond in tetrachloroethene is a covalent bond. Specifically, it consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. The sigma bond is formed by head-on overlap of orbitals, while the pi bond is formed by the side-to-side overlap of p-orbitals.
A single bond between two carbon atoms consists of a sigma bond. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 2 electrons. They are tied together by a sigma bond). A double bond between two carbon atoms consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 4 electrons.) A triple bond between two carbon atoms consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. (There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 6 electrons). apex one, two, one, one
