Is there an equation? I can't help if there's no equation involved.
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
Answer:
If it takes more energy to break the original bonds than is released when the new bonds are formed, then the net energy of the reaction is negative. This means that energy must be pumped into the system to keep the reaction going. Such reactions are known as endothermic.
