The correct statement regarding a chemical reaction is:
The total number of atoms does not change, so mass is conserved in the reaction.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, in a closed system, the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products, meaning that the total number of atoms before and after a reaction remains unchanged, and thus mass is conserved.
