It is a SINGLE COVALENT bond.

Structurally it is shown as H3C-CH3 , which is the alkane , named ethane.

Do neither confuse with a DOUBLE COVALENT bond, nor a TRIPLE COVALENT bond.

These last two are different functional groups.

Double covalent bond is H2C=CH2, which is the alkEne, named ethEne.

Triple covalent bond is HC///CH, which is the alkYne, named ethYne.

Note the number of hydrogens in each functional group. Note the number of bonds between carbons in each group. Note the one letter change in the Functional Group name , and the Chemical name.
