what is p pie p pie bond..?

p pi p pi bonding you can see in CO molecule.

 In CO molecule both carbon and oxygen atoms are sp hybridized. one of the sp hybridized orbital of each atom is used for the formation of C-O sigma bond. While other sp hybridized orbital contains lone pairs of electrons. Two un hybridized 2p orbitals of each atom constitute ppi -p pi  bond as shown.
