What is a single covalent bond?

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...

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
