When a match burns, the chemical reaction of combustion converts the match's material—primarily wood and chemicals—into heat, light, water vapor, and gases like carbon dioxide. This process involves breaking down the molecular structure of the original matter, effectively transforming it into energy and new substances. While mass is conserved according to the law of conservation of mass, the original matter is altered and no longer exists in its initial form. Thus, in a sense, the match's original matter is "destroyed" as it changes into different forms.

Are some chromosomes difficult to match?

What kind of matter dominates in the universe today What kind dominated immediately after the big bang?
I think the question is a bit mixed up, but I think this is the answer. Scientists talk about "mass-energy" as a unified thing. Just after the Big Bang "energy", in the form of radiation energy, was dominant. However, today it seems that "mass" is the dominant form. In other words, "matter" now dominates the Universe. There is the complication of "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy". Cosmologists still don't really know what these are. So that puts some uncertainty into this discussion of matter and energy. Some scientists believe that it is now "energy" that dominates, because of the discovery of Dark Energy. (Also, cosmologists think that both "matter" and "anti-matter" were created, but that there was a slight imbalance in favour of matter and the anti-matter seems to have been destroyed, leaving just "matter".)
Example of law of conservation of matter?
The best example of the law of conservation of matter is complete combustion. If you were to burn something of known mass in a closed system, the system would have the same mass before and after combustion occurs.
Does a burnt match weigh the same as a live match?
Nope a burnt match weighs less. You've burnt off the igniter plus a portion of the wick.
Was the city Naples destroyed after Mt Vesuvius erupted?
No, the city of Naples was not destroyed after the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 AD. Although it did suffer from some damage due to the ash and debris, the city was not completely destroyed. Today, Naples continues to thrive as a vibrant city in Southern Italy.
Why is it possible that you share some of the matter with a dinosaur that lived millions of years ago?
Matter is never created or destroyed
Why is it possible that you share some of the same matter with a dinosaur that lives millions of years ago?
Matter is never created or destroyed

Does heating kill vitamins and minerals?
No, it does not. Some forms of cooking can remove vitamins and minerals from food but they are not destroyed. Matter can not be created or destroyed, it will always exist in some form.
When a match stick is burned what will happen?
Among other things:* You'll no longer have a match stick.* The wood of the match stick will convert to smoke; among other things, CO2 will be produced.* In the process, some oxygen will be used up.
Why doesn't meteor hit the Earth's surface?
Yes, they do. Just this week (January 18, 2010) a meteor crashed through the roof of a doctor's office in Virginia and landed on the floor of the examining room. Granted, MOST meteors burn up in the atmosphere and don't survive the passage. But some do.
Is it true that substances can be neither created nor destroyed?
It depends on what you accept as 'being destroyed'. The only thing that is conserved is the matter/energy constant. Matter can be converted into an equivalent amount of energy. Some people would consider this 'being destroyed' but the amount of energy is always the same.
What are some true facts about matter?
matter cannot be created nor destroyed matter has mass matters opposite is antimatter i assumed you meant at a basic level i can give you much more indept info too
What are some chemical properties examples?
Chemical properties: A chemical property is matter that can be observed only when matter is changed into a new kind of matter. For example, Logs burning into burnt logs. Burns, Rust, Heat, Explode, Tarnish.
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.
What is the purpose of a laser pen that burns?
To light a cigarette To burn a fuse from a safer distance To light a match To pop balloons at a party :P (Further explained) The purpose of having a laser that burns is useful for some people, uses such as lighting a cigarette or lighting a fuse from a safer distance, can also be used for fun to light a match, but not fun to burn an eye.
