Detailed Solution

σ bonds are more stable then π bonds. The hybrid orbitals always form stable bonds σThe meaning of orbital is the probability for finding an electron is maximum around the nucleus. So the orbitals undergo hybridization.

Hybrid orbitals form σ bonds only, but not πbonds. Because σ  bonds are stable bonds.
