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.

How would you explain insulators?

The insulators are on the left side of the periodic table, past the mettalloids. Their atoms just do not interact with electricity or heat.


How did Delton describe the relationship between atoms and elements?

Dalton believed that there was a different atom for each element that there was, and that these atoms made up the elements that were in existence. He did not say exactly how these atoms were different, just that they were different. Dalton also believed that all of the atoms for a given element were exactly alike in every way.

How are atoms like the alphabet?

Atoms are like the alphabet because they are the building blocks of matter, just as letters are the building blocks of words. Just like letters can be combined in different ways to form words, atoms can combine in various ways to form different compounds and molecules. Both atoms and the alphabet provide the basic elements needed for creating larger structures.


What is matter made from?

Several answers. First is atoms, all matter is composed of atoms. But then you can worry about atoms. Best (current) answer is quarks, but if you like string theory them maybe all matter is just "frozen" energy. That would certainly help explain e=mc2.


When atoms of different elements combine the molecule is called?

It's called a compound. If you need any help just ask someone!


What is term for a group of atom's?

If the group of atoms are all the same, it is called a molecule. If the group of atoms are different, it is called a compound, assuming they are bonded in some way. Otherwise, it is just called a group of atoms.


What is in a diatomic molecule?

Just two atoms - either the same (as in O2) or different, as in CO (carbon monoxide)


What do atoms and element have in common?

Atoms are the smallest piece of matter you can get. Elements have only one kind of atom in it.
