Q

Explain why in a chemical reaction the mass of the products is the same as the mass of the reactants.

A

In a chemical reaction the atoms of the reactants are just rearranged during the reaction (no atoms are lost or gained) so the mass of the products is the same as the mass of the reactants.

Q

What is the difference between a molecular structure and a lattice?

A

A molecule is made of small groups of atoms. A lattice is made of billions of atoms joined together.
