The optimal temperature for an enzyme is the one at which the enzyme is the most active and productive.
At temperatures below the optimum temperature, the enzyme still catalyzes the reactions, but with decreased activity.
Even though the temperature increase increases the activity of the enzymes, temperatures that are greater than the optimum cause damage the enzyme strucutre, causing denaturation and loss of function
Answer:
\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.
Explanation:
isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.
Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are
- Alpha particle emission \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
- Beta particle emission \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
- gamma radiation \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.
in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.
Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below
\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right + \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.
Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right
