Standard deviation is how much a group deviates from the whole. In order to calculate standard deviation, you must know the mean.

The standard deviation of a single observation is not defined. With a single observation, the mean of the observation(s) would be the same as the value of the observation itself. By definition, therefore, the deviation (difference between observation and mean) would always be zero. Rather a pointless exercise!
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
The standard deviation is 0.
The standard deviation in a standard normal distribution is 1.
You need more than one number to calculate a standard deviation, so 9 does not have a standard deviation.
