which statement is true about a polyatomic ion?
it forms metallic bonds with other ions.
it forms covalent bonds with other ions.
it is made of atoms that are covalently bonded together.
it has a charge that is distributed over only part of the ion.

Explanation:

A polyatomic ion is a charged group of atoms where the atoms within the ion are held together by covalent bonds. They form ionic bonds with other ions (not metallic or covalent bonds with other ions), and their charge is distributed over the entire ion, not just part of it.

Answer:

It is made of atoms that are covalently bonded together.
