Detailed Description
Base class for atoms with exaclty one covalent bond partner.
Lone bond center is called "bond".
About the use of "Univalent" instead of "Monovalent": "valence" is derived from Latin, and thus should properly be combined with other Latin roots, though both Greek and Latin forms are observed for numbered valences. Latin naming convention is univalent, bivalent, trivalent, quadrivalent, quinqivalent, sexivalent, septivalent, octivalent. Greek-Latin mongrel words are also sometimes used: monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, hexavalent, heptavalent, octavalent.
