Non-metal elements:held together by/in a ____
A
metallic bonding
B
covalent lattice
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is how hydrogen and oxygen share electrons; they each have an electron that they can share in a bond. This is a covalent bond, a bond in which atoms share electrons. Covalent bonding generally happens between nonmetals. Covalent bonding is the type of bond that holds together the atoms within a polyatomic ion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Covalent bonds occur between nonmetal atoms. Naming simple covalent compounds follows simple rules similar to those for ionic compounds. However, for covalent compounds, numerical prefixes are used as necessary to specify the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
