The correct statement according to the Law of Conservation of Matter is: **Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.**
This law states that in a closed system, matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another, which means that the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products in a chemical reaction.
