Law of Conservation of MatterLaw of Conservation of Matter
Matter cannot be Matter cannot be created or destroyedcreated or destroyed
Matter isn’t being lost but changing in form!
Atoms are all still Atoms are all still there they just get there they just get rearrangedrearranged
Balanced chemical equations show the Balanced chemical equations show the number of atoms stay the same during number of atoms stay the same during reactions and thus obey this law.reactions and thus obey this law.

Elements and Their SymbolsElements and Their Symbols Take Note Please!Take Note Please!
Elements have either one Elements have either one or two letters when they or two letters when they are written as a symbol.are written as a symbol.
If two letters, the second If two letters, the second letter is written lower letter is written lower case. (Ex: Write Cu for case. (Ex: Write Cu for copper not CU)copper not CU)
Why is this so important?Why is this so important?
Usually it is pretty easy to match an Usually it is pretty easy to match an element to its symbol (Ex: Neon = Ne)element to its symbol (Ex: Neon = Ne)
Sometimes the symbol is derived from a Sometimes the symbol is derived from a Latin name for the element.Latin name for the element.Ex: Au = gold (comes from Latin word aurum)Ex: Au = gold (comes from Latin word aurum)
