Question

If Rutherford had used a foil of a lighter element in the alpha particle

scattering experiment instead of the gold foil, what would have been his

observation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the α-scattering experiment is performed using a foil of a metal rather than gold, there would be no change in the observations. In the α-scattering experiment, a gold foil was taken because gold is a malleable and a thin foil of gold can be easily made than foils of other metals.
