An atom is the smallest piece of an elemental chemical, a molecule is the smallest piece of a compound chemical (composed of several elements). However due to quantum effects, neither an atom nor a molecule has the properties that we associate with that specific chemical. You need a minimum of several hundred or thousand atoms or molecules in most cases for the "bulk" chemical properties to begin to appear.

When ice changes to water the link up of atoms does or does not change?
The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of individual water molecules do not change when liquid water changes to ice. This is a physical change called freezing, and does not cause any chemical changes to occur. Only chemical changes can cause changes in chemical bonds.
What are characteristics do all chemical changes have?
All chemical reactions cause the change of color and the Change in temperature. Chemical reactions also have the characteristic of releasing gas.
When rocks undergo metamorphic changes chemical reactions cause minerals to recrystallize or change form which agent provides the energy for these reactions?
Heat
Ionizing radiation may ionize atoms in living cells as it passes through the body Why does that cause concern?
Chemical reactions are changed by ionization. Ionized atoms act chemically differently than unionized atoms.
What are examples of chemical reactions that cause cooling?
sodium bohyroxide
What do most atoms undergo combining in ways that cause their atoms to become more?
Most atoms tend to undergo chemical reactions combining in ways that cause their atoms to become more stable

Which is the only subatomic particle that is directly involved in the chemical reactions between atoms?
An electron, it plays a part in forming/breaking all proper chemical bonds (there are other types of bonds but they don't really cause chemical reactions and as such are rather boring)

All chemical reactions cause the change of color and the Change in temperature. Chemical reactions also have the characteristic of releasing gas.
When rocks undergo metamorphic changes chemical reactions cause minerals to recrystallize or change form which agent provides the energy for these reactions?
Heat
Is it true that during chemical changes atoms are rearranged and different kind of matter form?
Yes, in chemical reactions the fundamental structure of the molecules (i.e., the arrangement of the atoms) changes. This differs from a physical reaction, in that in a physical reaction, only superficial traits of the substance change. A good rule of thumb for determining whether something is a physical or chemical reaction is that physical reactions are easily reversible (e.g., freezing/melting water), while a chemical reaction is not really reversible (e.g., cooking/uncooking a steak).
Ionizing radiation may ionize atoms in living cells as it passes through the body Why does that cause concern?
Chemical reactions are changed by ionization. Ionized atoms act chemically differently than unionized atoms.
Can a chemical bond be broken?
I believe the question is Can bones be broken. The answer is yes. One major cause is the side-effects of the medicine used for arteriosclerosis.
What energy helps chemical reactions to form?
Heat helps chemical reactions to take place. Light can also cause some chemical reactions to take place.
What can chemical changes change?
Cooking food can cause chemical Changes
Does electroplatin cause physical or chemical changes?
Chemical.
