Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a bombardment reaction, particles such as protons or alpha particles are accelerated to high velocities using a particle accelerator. These high-speed particles are small in size but have a lot of kinetic energy, allowing them to effectively collide with the target nuclei and induce nuclear reactions. Therefore, the best choice is A, as the particles are both small and traveling very fast.
