According to the law of conservation of matter, which statement about chemical reactions is true? Atoms are created by some reactions and destroyed by others. Energy is created as atoms are destroyed in chemical reactions. Every atom destroyed in a chemical reaction must be replaced. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed by chemical reactions.
