Which property of physical changes explains why matter is conserved in a physical change? The arrangements of particles do not change, and the bonds between atoms do not break. Mass, not energy, changes in a physical change. Energy and mass change in a physical change. The bonds between atoms do not break; it is only the arrangement that changes.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Physical change is defined as a change in which no new product is formed, that is, there is no change in chemical composition of a substance.
For example, when ice melt then solid state of water changes into liquid state.
That is, arrangement of atoms changes and bond between the atoms do no break during a physical change.
Thus, we can conclude that the property bonds between atoms do not break; it is only the arrangement that changes explains why matter is conserved in a physical change.
