What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that cannot change during a chemical reaction?
a. number of protons and electrons
b. the number of protons and neutrons
c. the number of electrons only
d. the number of neutrons and electrons

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
