Atoms created during a chemical reaction must have the same mass as the atoms in the reactants.
Atoms created during a chemical reaction must have the same mass as the atoms in the reactants.
Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.
Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.
The correct answer is: Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.
The correct answer is: "Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away."
According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. This means that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Atoms can be rearranged to form new molecules or compounds, but the number of atoms in the reactants and products must remain the same. Therefore, the statement "Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away" is always true according to the Law of Conservation of Matter.
