RafaIn a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, it simply changes form. The atoms in the reactants rearrange to form new products. Energy is involved in breaking and forming chemical bonds during the reaction, but the total amount of energy in the system remains constant according to the law of conservation of energy.

What happens to energy during a chemical change?
when a chemical change occurs, chemical bonds are broken up
What happens to the potential energy of the molecules in a reaction?
The potential energy of the molecules change during a reaction.
Does energy decrease or increase during a chemical reaction?
Energy can either decrease or increase during a chemical reaction depending on whether it is an exothermic reaction (energy is released) or an endothermic reaction (energy is absorbed). In an exothermic reaction, energy is released in the form of heat, and in an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
What happens to the total mass of substances during a chemical reaction?
The total mass of substances remains constant during a chemical reaction, according to the law of conservation of mass. This means that atoms are rearranged during a reaction, but no atoms are created or destroyed in the process.
Chemical potential energy in a sentence?
Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance that can be released during a chemical reaction.
