Answer:

The answer would be The number of protons and neutrons

Neutrons and protons cannot be removed from nucleus from chemical reactions because they are strongly held together but nuclear reactions are strong enough to separate them

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear reactions involve a change in the nucleus of an atom, usually producing a different element. Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei
