A carbon–carbon bond is a covalent bond between two carbon atoms. The most common form is the single bond: a bond composed of two electrons, one from each of the two atoms. The carbon–carbon single bond is a sigma bond and is formed between one hybridized orbital from each of the carbon atoms

Now we all know that carbon has these two of the very special properties namely catenation and tetravalency
Catenation meaning that carbon can make hundreds and thousands of bonds in a chain or ring with other carbon atoms alongside.
But what does a single bond mean?
Well any bond is made between two atoms when each share one of their electron of their outermost shell (specifically high energy orbital)
and form a pair of electrons which is known as a covalent bond.
Thus a single bond means that only one pair of electrons has been made that is only one electron given by each atom of their own.
Thus, carbon can give 4 electrons or rather I would prefer to say that carbon atom can share 4 electrons of it's outermost shell and thus,.when any two carbon atom share one electron each and form a pair of electrons , this is known as single bond.
Similarly, if the carbon atoms give two electrons each they form two pairs of electrons and thus giving a double bond and similarly if each carbon atom gives three electrons each, then they form what is called a triple bond.
Hope this helps you !
