Question

4. What do you think would be the
observation if the a-particle
scattering experiment is carried
out using a foil of a metal other
than gold?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the α-scattering experiment is carried out using a foil of a metal rather than gold, there would be no change in the observation. In the α-scattering experiment, a gold foil was taken because gold is malleable and a thin foil of gold can be easily made. It is difficult to make such foils from other metals.
