Since "Tongs" is not a Math Term, you must mean, "A Pair"....TWO.
Like 'pair of scissors' and 'pair of trousers' though, you don't have just 'a tong', a 'pair of tongs' means one set of tongs.

Why is there no singular form for the tongs?
There is a singular and plural form for the noun tongs. The word tongs is actually a shortened form for 'a pair of tongs' (singular), or pairs of tongs (plural). Examples of other shortened forms for 'a pair of' are:a pair of binoculars, two pairs of binocularsa pair of glasses, two pairs of glassesa pair of pajamas, two pairs of pajamasa pair of pants, two pairs of pantsa pair of scissors, two pairs of scissorsa pair of shorts, two pairs of shortsa pair of tweezers, two pairs of tweezersThe part of the term is used alone (tongs) because the rest of the term is understood. This form of singular and plural only applies to things that are made by joining two parts to make a single object. For example you can separate a pair of shoes or a pair of socks and you will still have a usable shoe or sock; but if you separate a pair of tongs, or pants, or scissors, they're not of much use.
