The number of atoms in the universe is not decreasing...
They are spreading out as the Universe expands...

Doesn't the theory of conservation of matter say that matter can neither be created nor destroyed? Therefore, all the matter in the universe would have to be accounted for within atom, which would be highly unlikely. What would the atomic weight of that atom then be?--it would have to equal the total mass of the universe. Again, highly unlikely.

No idea!! I guess no one else will be around to really know either since it takes more than one atom to make up a human! Why would you care when/if it got to this point? No one/nothing would be around anyway.

nope.
maybe they'll all mush together and turn into a bunch of neutrons and create a super huge black hole, but that can hardly be called a single atom.

If you are referring to a universal singularity, assuming that there is enough mass to eventually reverse expansion and cause collapse, then yes. Otherwise, no.

No there won't.
I usually give more explanations to my answers, but for one who is too lazy to write full words, why should I take any effort?

Idk who told you the number of atoms in the universe is decreasing but yeah, they were wrong.

never................ because tha atoms can not be totally destroyed but can be changed to other form.these days we can change most of the atoms to other type thanks to radioactivity.
