Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, physical and chemical properties of matter can be altered but the total mass of the matter remains the same.
Since an atom is the basic unit of mass, atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed.
