The image below shows models that represent the reactants and products of a chemical reaction. Reactants Products Based on the above image, which of the following is true? A. Mass was gained in this chemical reaction because there are more atoms in the products than there were in the reactants. B. Mass was conserved in this chemical reaction because the same atoms are present in both the products and the reactants. C. Mass was lost in this chemical reaction because the atoms in the reactants are smaller than the atoms in the products. D. Mass could have either been gained or lost during this chemical reaction because atoms always change mass when they react.
