Which of the following projectile is the best for bombarding the nuclide ?

Solution
The correct option is A Neutron
Neutrons are best projectile used in many transmutation processes. Since neutrons are electrically neutral and not strongly repelled by the target nuclei, high kinetic energy neutrons are not necessary. They are sufficiently accelerated by heat, hence, called thermal neutrons, which have just enough energy to bind to the target nuclei.
