A balanced chemical equation will demonstrate the law of conservation of mass because the amount of elements on one side (reactants) will equal the amount of elements on the other side (products).
Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. This is the law of conservation of mass. In every chemical reaction, the same mass of matter must end up in the products as started in the reactants. Balanced chemical equations show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.
<span>Answer:
K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>
Atomic mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Subtract 80-35=45 is the number of protons. Because the atom is neutrally charged, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons, so there are 45 electrons.
