Explanation Dalton’s theory states that the atoms are neither gained nor lost during a chemical reaction. The atoms involved in a reaction are only rearranged in any chemical reaction. There is no change in the identity of atoms during the reaction. Atoms in the reactant side rearrange to give new substances as products. For example, the reaction of sodium metal and chlorine gas to give sodium chloride is, 2Na ( s ) + Cl
