Key Stage 4
Meaning
A single bond is a chemical bond in which only one electron is shared or transferred from the outer shell.
About Single Bonds
- In covalent bonds a single bond means one electron from the outer shell of an atom is shared.
- In ionic bonds a single bond means one of the atoms has gained or lost just one electron that has been transferred to another element.

| A single bond between two Chlorine atoms. | The two Hydrogen atoms in a Hydrogen molecule each share only one electron in a single bond. | The Oxygen in Water shares one electron with each Hydrogen atom forming two single bonds. |
