Question

If alfa particle experiment is carried out using a foil of a metal other than gold

Answer 1

gold is the most malleable metal and it can be drawn into very very thin sheets or Rutherford used gold metal to complete his experiment he wants a very thin sheet of metal in which Alpha particle can be scatter

Answer 2

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

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.
