Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.
Explanation:
I’m pretty sure it’s D.increases the activation energy for a reaction.
1. its temperature will rise continuously until it melts
I don't believe that any of the other answers are correct because it can not stay at a certain temperature if it is melting
