In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.


What atoms are constantly being destroyed and recreated?

Atoms are not constantly being destroyed and recreated. According to the law of conservation of mass, atoms cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged in chemical reactions. However, the nuclei of some unstable atoms can undergo radioactive decay, releasing particles and energy in the process. These decayed nuclei can be considered as "destroyed" and new atoms can be formed through nuclear reactions.


Iron atoms are destroyed When iron rusts?

No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.


Is energy created when atoms are destroyed in a chemical reaction?

Atoms are never created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. There are the same number of each type of atom both before and after a chemical reaction. Atoms are never created of destroyed; the molecules are just re-arranged in their bonding with each other.


Who found atoms to be destructible and changeable?

FALSE ,, because atoms can be destroyed by nuclear fusion
