Question

What happens in a chemical reaction?A.Atoms turn into other atoms.B.Atoms form new compounds by rearranging.C.Atoms are created.D.Atoms are destroyed.

Answer 1

B. Atoms form new compounds by rearranging.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the matter and energy conservation law: matter and energy are neither created nor destroyed, they are transformed. The matter is applied to atoms, so we discard the options C and D.

Now, atoms can not turn into other atoms because they are indivisible and their nature keeps constant.

But in a chemical reaction, we are forming compounds and substances by rearranging the reactants and remembering that these reactants and compounds are made of atoms, so the answer would be B. Atoms form new compounds by rearranging.
