From the law of conservation of mass it can be concluded that: all reactions involve the flow of energy
all reactions are accompanied by one or more phase changes
the total number of atoms involved in a chernical reaction remains constant
all reactions involve the production of new substances with their own characteristic
properties

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
