Question

in chemical reactions, atoms are...
a)created
b)destroyed
c)an enzyme
d) a catalyst

Answer 1

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms thereby obtaining the electrons they need to attain a stable electron configuration.
The substances used in the beginning of a chemical reaction are called the reactants and the substances found at the end of the reaction are known as the products.

Answer 2

chemical reactions do not create or destroy atoms, or change one kind of atom into another. They only reshuffle the atoms that were originally present into different molecular combinations. What we would like to be able to do is to count each kind of atom before and after a reaction and make sure that none has been gained or lost.
