A single bond involves the sharing of two electrons as is the case of water in between the hydrogen and oxygen each bond is single bond and contains 2 electrons. In a double the sharing of 4 electons as in alkenes or between oxygen and oxygen in O2 and in a triple 6 as in the nitrogen gas( N2)between N and N.

"the amount of electrons shared between the atoms (single=one shared, double=two shared, etc"

To reword this phrase, and correct spelling errors, for clarity, a single bond is when two atoms share two electrons, one each. A double bond is when two atoms share four electrons, two each.

It depends on the element or molecule in question. HCl, for instance, has one electron being used to bond the hydrogen and the chlorine together whereas H2O has two electrons, one from each hydrogen, bonding with the oxygen.
