Can gold be destroyed?

No. Just like any form of matter it can only be changed variously into another form, into energy or a combination of the two.


Is this an example of chemical reactions Energy is created as atoms are destroyed in chemical reactions?

No Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change form Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. -- - -- Like stated above, energy can't be destroyed nor created. Only harnessed to only than be used and changed in form. Matter however CAN be destroyed, its exactly what an atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb or nuclear reaction plant does; annihilates molecules harnessing its potential energy. The law of conservation basically states that you either have matter or you have energy.


What must the mass of reactants do to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction?

As the law of conservation of matter and mass dictates, matter can't be created or destroyed, only changed. The mass and the number of atoms always stay the same through a chemical reaction, just rearranged.


Substances that are changed when they become involved in chemical reactions are?

Reactants are substances that are changed when they become involved in chemical reactions. Products are the new substances that are formed.


Do the numbers of atoms increase or decrease after the chemical reaction?

Yes, in chemical reactions atoms are neither created nor destroyed, nor changed from one kind to another. Those things can only happen in nuclear reactions. Chemistry deals with how atoms combine with one another.

Can matter be created or destroyed during chemical reaction?

Matter can not be created nor destroyed during any process, so no matter can not be destroyed during a chemical change.


But it can be changed from one form to another is the chemical law of?

It sounds like the Law of conservation of energy which states that engery cannot be created or destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another.


Standards of measurement are chosen because they... a. are reproducible in another laboratory. b. cannot be destroyed by any common physical or chemical means. c.are easily changed.?

A


What is mass of conversation of mass?

Conservation of matter means, matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another.


When energy is used it is?

Changed from one form to another - energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another.


Can mass be destroyed?

Mass is equivalent to energy. Neither can be destroyed or created, only changed from one form to another.


How can the inertia be destroyed?

Inertia can not be destroyed, because inertia is a form of energy and energy can not be created or destroyed it is changed into a different form of energy like light, heat, chemical, or physical energy.


What is energy in brief?

energy is that which can not be destroyed. it can only be changed from one form to another.


What is the principle that illustrates chemical elements from minerals and rocks are not lost or destroyed but changed to new form?

Metamorphic rock


What is the scientific rule that states energy can not be destroyed?

The Law of the Conservation of Energy. Stating it can be neither created or destroyed but changed from one form to another.


Chemical change is what?

A process in which reactants are changed into one or more different products


What can be created or destroyed but they can be changed from one to another?

If you ment to say "What CANNOT be created or destroyed but can be changed from one to another" than you are looking for matter and energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. for example, the sun shines light on to a corn plant, which powers photosynthesis. this is a transfer from radiation energy to chemical energy, stored in the cells of the corn. when you eat this corn, and use that energy to jump up and down, that is a transfer of chemical energy to kinetic energy.Mass can also (at least in theory) be converted into energy in accordence with E=Mc2 with E=energy, M=mass, and c=the speed of light
