Answer: Single Covalent Bonds

Hydrogen and chlorine coming together is an example of a single covalent bond. Two hydrogen atoms will also come together to form a single covalent bond, as will two chlorine atoms. In these examples, each individual atom has just one unpaired electron to share with the other atom.

A Little Backstory I Guess: In chemistry, a single bond is a chemical bond between two atoms involving two valence electrons. That is, the atoms share one pair of electrons where the bond forms. Therefore, a single bond is a type of covalent bond.

sorry its so long :/ hope this even relatively helps...
