==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''single bond''' is a [[Chemical Bond|chemical bond]] in which only one [[electron]] is shared or transferred from the [[Outer Shell|outer shell]].
===About Single Bonds===
: In [[Covalent Bond|covalent bonds]] a '''single bond''' means one [[electron]] from the [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] of an [[atom]] is shared.
: In [[Ionic Bond|ionic bonds]] a '''single bond''' means one of the [[atom]]s has gained or lost just one [[electron]] that has been transferred to another [[element]].
