question 2 of 10
what does the law of conservation of matter show?
a. that atoms will combine in the simplest possible arrangement.
b. that the total number of atoms in matter will never change.
c. that atoms in matter can never be rearranged.
d. that matter can never change form.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that in a chemical reaction, the total amount of matter remains constant. This means the total number of atoms in matter does not change as atoms are just rearranged during reactions, not created or destroyed.

Answer:

B. That the total number of atoms in matter will never change.
