    One of the most important principles of chemistry is the law of conservation of mass. This law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during an ordinary chemical reaction. In other words, all of the atoms that were present at the beginning of a reaction are present at the end of the reaction—they have just been rearranged to bond differently and form new substances.…

    A physical change is any change that results in the rearrangement of molecules, but doesn't affect their internal structures. When you make rock candy, you are creating a physical change. When sugar and water mix together, they are not forming a new substance, sugar dissolves, but it doesn't disappear. So when you crystallize it, it still has the same chemical structure, the only thing that changed is the physical appearance.…
