Why are revertants observed in Ames test?

To determine whether whatever chemical that was introduced to the bacteria is a mutagen. More revertants means better mutagen ie. the probability of a strain reverting back to wild-type is high since probability of a mutation in the DNA is high due to induced mutation by the mutagen. Less revertants means poor mutagen ie. the probability of a strain reverting back to wild-type is low since probability of a mutation in the DNA is attributed to just the probability of an error in replication.

What happens to atoms when in a chemical raction?

When atoms have a chemical reaction, that usually means that they changed their state and can not go back.

Or if you change a liquid into a solid or a solid into a gas and so on. Those would all be chemical reactions. We just learned about that a few weeks ago.
