Solution

The correct option is D

Changing of the atoms of an element into those of another element to form new products.


The explanation for the correct answer:

(1) A chemical reaction is where the bonds within the reactant molecules are broken and new bonds are formed within the molecules of the product in order to form a new material.

(2) A chemical reaction is a mechanism that takes place when two or more molecules interact to produce new products.

(3) A reaction between two atoms or ions or molecules may take place and a new bond is formed and no atom is destroyed or created, but reactants form a new substance.

The explanation for the incorrect option:
Option A:

  • In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.

Option B:

  • A chemical reaction occurs when chemical bonds are broken and formed and atoms are exchanged to produce chemically different species. Both of these processes are chemical reactions

Option C:

  • A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms of reactants to form new products.

Therefore, the correct option is (D),i.e., A chemical reaction does not involve changing the atoms of an element into those of another element to form new products.
