Atoms can be made or destroyed through fusion/ Fission reactions.
Fusion Reactions:
Atoms with lower molecular numbers can be combined to make an atom of higher molecular number
example : Hydrogen is fused into Helium
Nuclear Fission:
atoms with a high molecular number, loose neutrons and protons to become an atoms with lower molecular number.
Example: Uranium turning to lead.
Atomic bombs: Fission takes place in a chain reaction where all th energy is released very very quickly creating massive destruction and explosion.
Hence atoms can be made or destroyed , releasing lots of energy.
