You can't. The law of conservation of mass states that it can neither be created nor destroyed. you can change it and move it around. If your computer blows up the same amount of matter still exists, its just way spread out.

Can you increase the number of particles of a substance in a chemical reaction?

No, the number of particles of a substance is determined by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The number of particles remains the same before and after the reaction.


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.


When chemical reactions occur are atoms never ionized rearranged destroyed or vaporized?

Atoms can be ionized in chemical reactions when they gain or lose electrons. In some reactions, atoms may rearrange into different molecules or compounds. However, atoms are not destroyed or vaporized during chemical reactions; they are simply rearranged into different combinations.


What happens to the size of the ballon as the temperature decreases?

because the particles are destroyed when they are cooled.


Is it true that the smashing of Adams is evidence of matter being Destroyed?

Assuming you meant atoms, no it is not. The atoms are broken into their constituent particles (IE. protons, neutrons, and electrons) but no matter is lost.

What happens to the number of particles at the beginning and end of the iron and sulfur reaction?

In a reaction between iron and sulfur to form iron sulfide, the total number of particles remains the same before and after the reaction. This is due to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.


Is humidity energy is humidity a type of energy?

no, energy cannot be created or destroyed. particles are not given energy by humidity


Where are harmful particles destroyed in a cell?

Harmful particles are typically destroyed in a cell by the lysosomes, which contain enzymes that break down various materials. These enzymes can degrade proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and other molecules that are no longer needed or are harmful to the cell.

How the respiratory system keeps itself going?

The cilia inside the trachea traps the small particles, then it is shot up the trachea to the esephogus to get destroyed by the stomach.

Matter that is indivisible cannot be?

The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is not strictly correct, as mass and energy can be inter-converted, as in nuclear reactions. Thus, 'mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed' is more accurate.

When you smash an atom is that matter being destroyed?

When an atom is smashed, its constituent particles do not cease to exist, although depending upon the energies involved, they may be changed into different particles. It is a well established law of nature that mass-energy is conserved, which is to say, it is not created or destroyed, although it can be changed into many different forms. Although matter is not destroyed, it can be converted into energy under some circumstances. Some nuclear processes to result in some of the matter in the atom being converted to energy. This is the source of the energy released by nuclear power plants, or nuclear bombs.


Why can't charge be created or destroyed?

Just as the laws of conservation of matter, mass, and energy state that matter, mass, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed (in the long-term), so too do we say that particle characteristics (which derive from matter/mass/energy) such as charge cannot be created nor destroyed.
