You need the two palms. Without that other one, any sound it the result of a Slap ~ s-lap. No. You cannot clap with one hand. Lessin' you're the LORD and making the thunder clap with the wave of your almighty hand.

The American Sign Language sign for clapping is to hold up your hands and wave them back and forth pivoting from the wrist. It can just as easily be done with one hand.

Yes it is. You just snap your wrist and it causes your fingers to hit the bottom of your palm, causing a clapping noise. Thus, yes, you can clap with one hand.

You can't hear it because you are deaf. You are not elightened. There is a whole real world that you cannot perceive. You walk around in a half asleep lethargic state like a fish asking what water is. Most people out there want you to stay that way. Most ppl who can help you won't because you are probably an average person who just wants to be rich, powerful, drunk/high, get some fine tail, and, what the heck, be popular and important, too. Do you give little kids real guns to play with?

yeah, with one hand can not clap. For this reason, you have to get your second hand or another person hand to clap. Therefore, one person can not make change by himself, team work is essential to make successful change

Yes, I think it is. You can slap your hand on your thigh, as if you were clapping your two hands together.

You can't clap with one hand, but you can make noise by tapping ur shoulder, or ask for another hand from ur friend.

No, because dictionary.com defines it as "To strike the palms of the hands together with a sudden explosive sound, as in applauding. " So you see, you'll need to hands to clap, but with one hand you can sure make a lot of noise.

You can slap yourself in the face, or you could jointly clap with another person. Your choice.
