single bond
This term is a technical designation used exclusively within chemistry to describe a specific type of covalent linkage. It carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is used in both academic textbooks and professional laboratory reports to distinguish this bond from double or triple bonds.
In a structural context, the term implies a specific geometric property: the ability of the bonded atoms to rotate freely around the bond axis. This distinguishes it from the rigid, planar structure associated with multiple bonds, which is a critical distinction when discussing molecular isomerism and protein folding.
Meanings
Examples
A single bond allows for free rotation between the two bonded atoms.
The carbon and hydrogen atoms are connected by a single bond.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only single bonds.
The length of a single bond is generally longer than that of a double bond.
I wonder if the energy required to break this single bond is too high.
The molecule consists of a long chain of carbon atoms linked by a single bond at each junction.
Look at the diagram and identify every single bond in the structure.
