States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Describe an example of how you see the law of conservation of matter at work in your daily life.
Law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
It also means that the total amount of matter present in a closed system always remains constant. The amount of matter before and after any change within a system remains the same.
This law is applied everywhere in the world and is the important law to be considered.
