The law of conservation of mass (matter is neither created nor destroyed) was first clearly formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. However, Mikhail Lomonosov (1748) had previously expressed similar ideas and proved them in experiments.
Thomas Dalton.
This is part of Dalton's Atomic Theory. The theory stated that all matter consists of atoms, atoms cannot change their identity , the Law of Conservation of Matter (indestructible spheres), all atoms of one element are identical in mass and hold unique properties, and the Law of Definite Composition.
-Light is similar to matter (and waves) but consists of photons, not atoms.
-Atoms can change their identity via nuclear reactions.
-The Law of Conservation of Matter does not apply to many nuclear reactions, and atoms can lose or gain electrons.
-Atoms of one element can have different numbers of neutrons (isotopes) and thus different masses.
-Only the Law of Definite Composition holds true today.
the law of conservation of energy by Newton
The idea that matter cannot be created or destroyed is known as the conservation of mass. It was discovered by Antoine Lavoisier.
Antoine Lavoisier is generally credited with putting forth this concept in the 1700s.
This is the law of mass conservation - Antoine Lavoisier, a French chemist is credited with the discovery; but many scientists had before some intutions and contributions.

chemical reactions....actually it is matter (mass)
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
atoms bcoz atom can neither b created nor destroyed.
The statement "Matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed in form" is the substance of the law of conservation of matter.
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter can't be created or destroyed. When a chemical reaction happens, you aren't destroying the material you are simply changing it.

Energy is neither created or destroyed.
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
atoms bcoz atom can neither b created nor destroyed.
No. Atoms, which are matter, are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, but they are rearranged.
The law of Conservation of mass states that 'mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction'.
During a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed
the law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. so when a chemical reaction takes place, no matter is being destroyed. the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.
Mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.
Matter is neither created nor destroyed. Only change of bonds occur in atoms.
