Question

generally in the rutherford model we use gold foil but in case if we use aluminium foil what changes can occur

Answer 1

Hey MATE!

Gold foil is extremely thin material which is just one cell thick which makes electrons to pass easily.

But Aluminium is too thick although we observe it to be thin but it is itself made of thousands of atoms.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

If the observation is taken by heavy metal like gold for e.g. Platinium silver than the observation would be same but if it would be taken by light metal like lithium than the massive alpha particles will push the nucleus and may not be deflected back
