In the chemical reaction given, \( U_4Fe + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3 \), the correct response is:

They are rearranged.

During a chemical reaction, atoms are not lost or gained in mass; they are rearranged to form new substances. The properties of the original reactants change as they form new products.
