it shows that only physical changes follow the Law of Conservation of Mass
it shows that only physical changes follow the Law of Conservation of Mass

it shows that all compounds remain bounded after the reaction
it shows that all compounds remain bounded after the reaction

it shows that the properties of the elements stay the same after the reaction
it shows that the properties of the elements stay the same after the reaction

it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during a reaction

Answer 1

The correct response is:

it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during a reaction.

A balanced chemical equation illustrates that the number of atoms of each element remains the same before and after a reaction, which is a key principle of the Law of Conservation of Mass.
