The answer would be metal
One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.
The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).
Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.
Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.
Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).
Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.
The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.
<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>
Explanation:
- Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
- The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
- On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
- On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.
One term could be allostasis, the opposite of homeostasis.
Other antonyms of homeostasis, the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment, include imbalance, instability, etc.
