It depends on what you mean by "burning". I believe that when most people use the term "burning", they are referring to things like a wood fire, or a gasoline fire. In such settings, I believe that even though the chemical bonds between atoms are destroyed, the atoms themselves remain fundamentally unaltered. However, the term "burning" can be used to refer to the processes of nuclear fission and fusion. In the former, atoms are "split apart" in the burning process. In the latter, atoms crash together and "stick", thereby creating new, more complex atoms.
I am not an expert in this area, so please do not take this answer as definitive.

What happens when atoms vibrate extremely slow?
When atoms vibrate extremely slowly, they are solid.
What happens when calsium reacts with clorine?

What happens to burning candle if there is no oxygen?
Fire goes out.
What happens when you put salt on a burning candle?
nothing
What happens between atoms during a chemical reaction?
This happens when atoms are rearanged
What happens in a chemical reaction called burning?
Burning
What becomes the carbon atoms in the body of orgnisms?
the burning of oil in factories..........
What happens to atoms in fuel?
The atoms move faster as they heat up.
What type of energy is released when something is burned?
Burning releases heat by the formation of chemical bonds between the atoms that are burning. An example is hydrogen burning with oxygen, because when the atoms are bonded together as water they have less total energy than when the atoms are separated. It takes energy to separate out hydrogen and oxygen from water (by electrolysis for example), and this is the energy that is released when the separate atoms are re-bonded in burning.
What happens to a burning candal when there is no oxygen?
It goes out
What happens to a burning candle is there is no oxygen?
It goes out
What gas is the sun burning?
The SUN does NOT BURN gas. It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
