this phrase refers to the" law of conservation of mass ".this law states that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of products after reaction has completed .or the total number of atoms taking part in a chemical reaction as reactants is equal to the total number of atoms obtained as products
The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
According to Democritus' theory, atoms cannot be destroyed (an idea similar to the modern theory of the conservation of matter) and they exist in a vacuum or void, which corresponds to the space between atoms. Atoms of a liquid are smooth and round; atoms of a solid are jagged and catch on to each other. Atoms differ only in shape, position, and arrangement.
The law of conservation of mass (or matter) states that mass (or matter) cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. *Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, so a lot of scientists call this the law of conservation of matter.
Matter takes up space because it exists. It takes up space because it has depth. If it didn't take up space it would be a 2D object and nothing could be made of matter. Because everything is made up of matter, matter must take up space.

The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
The principle is the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation must be the same to ensure that mass is conserved.
In chemical reactions the number of atoms stay the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
You are confusing the law of conservation of matter/mass with the law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of matter/mass states that in a closed system matter is neither created nor destroyed. During a chemical reaction matter is rearranged, it doesn't change forms (energy can change forms). The atoms in the products are the same atoms that were in the reactants.
All matter is made of atoms.
All matter is made of atoms.
When a chemical reaction occurs atoms get ionized. Atoms are never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
A citation from Wikipedia:"The law of conservation of mass, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system (in the sense of a completely isolated system) will remain constant over time."For more details see the link bellow.
Atoms can change their arrangements and bonds during chemical reactions, but the total number of atoms remains the same due to the law of conservation of mass. This principle states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system, meaning the atoms present before a reaction will still exist after the reaction, albeit in different configurations. For example, in a combustion reaction, the atoms of the reactants rearrange to form new products, but the total count of each type of atom remains unchanged. This can be demonstrated by balancing chemical equations, which reflect this conservation.
Yes, the equation obeys the law of conservation of matter. The number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation, indicating that no atoms are created or destroyed during the reaction.
The law that states that the number of atoms on the right side of a chemical equation must be equal to the number of atoms on the left side is the Law of Conservation of Mass. This fundamental principle in chemistry indicates that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged.
