Reactant bonds break and atoms rearrange to form new product combinations.
Reactant bonds break and atoms rearrange to form new product combinations.

Atomic bonds break and form, constantly changing between the reactant and product compounds.

Answer 1

"Reactant bonds break and atoms rearrange to form new product combinations."

Reason: chemical reactions involve breaking some bonds and forming new ones so atoms are rearranged into different molecules; atoms are conserved (not lost).
