Answer:

In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products.

Explanation: No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
