The statement that best describes what is happening when butter melts is: **The butter contains a new arrangement of atoms.**
During the melting process, the butter changes from a solid to a liquid state, but its chemical composition (the types and numbers of atoms) remains the same. The arrangement of these atoms changes, allowing the butter to flow as a liquid, but no new substances are formed, and the butter can solidify again when cooled.
