An atom may change by rearranging the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It will still be the same chemical element, for the number of electrons (and protons) will still be the same. But the number of neutrons, and hence the mass, will change. Usually by radioactive behaviour.

What is it called when atoms are rearranged to form a new substance?
A chemical change occurs when atoms are rearranged to form new molecules.
What is the law that states that atoms can't be created or destroyed but can be rearranged?
The law of conservation of matter.
What will happen to the atoms and molecules of a substance when it undergoes a chemical reaction?
The molecules will rearrange, giving off or absorbing energy. The atoms will be by and large unaffected (they might gain or loose an electron or two)
Are atoms created destroyed during or rearranged during a chemical reaction?
In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same, yet they may recombine into different types of molecules. That is why some chemical reactions use two compounds to create a different coumpound.
Are nitrogen atoms ever destoryed?
No. For, if they were, it would produce a tremendous explosion. And matter is never destroyed, no matter what happens to it, the molecules and atoms are just rearranged.
What gets rearranged during a chemical change?
