According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, the statement that is always true is: **Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.**
This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, so the total number of atoms (and thus the total mass) remains constant throughout the process, even though the molecules may change.
