The observation that heat is given off and light is produced when two atoms of different elements come into contact suggests that a chemical reaction is occurring, which involves the transformation of energy. This phenomenon supports:
C) The law of conservation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The heat and light produced indicate that energy is being released during the reaction, consistent with this law.
