conservation of matter
It is the principle of conservation of energy.
The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
You are confusing the law of conservation of matter/mass with the law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of matter/mass states that in a closed system matter is neither created nor destroyed. During a chemical reaction matter is rearranged, it doesn't change forms (energy can change forms). The atoms in the products are the same atoms that were in the reactants.
In chemical reactions the number of atoms stay the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.
this phrase refers to the" law of conservation of mass ".this law states that the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of products after reaction has completed .or the total number of atoms taking part in a chemical reaction as reactants is equal to the total number of atoms obtained as products
A citation from Wikipedia:"The law of conservation of mass, also known as principle of mass/matter conservation is that the mass of a closed system (in the sense of a completely isolated system) will remain constant over time."For more details see the link bellow.
All matter is made of atoms.

Law of Conservation of Matter.
the matter is not created nor it is destroyed , it is simply rearrangement between various atoms
