Question

pete is composed of long chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together. a model of pete represents carbon as black, oxygen as red, and hydrogen as white. complete the statement. pete chains are held together by ______ bonds. choose 1 answer: a ionic b covalent c metallic

Explanation:

PETE is a polymer made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. These non - metal atoms share electrons to form bonds. Covalent bonds occur when atoms share electrons, while ionic bonds are between a metal and a non - metal, and metallic bonds are in metals. Since PETE consists of non - metal atoms, the bonds holding its chains together are covalent.

Answer:

B. covalent
