In Rutherford's experiment of scattering of a-particle, can we take foil of any other metal instead of gold foil?

Answers

Answered by abhishekdfourt

Answer:

Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The gold sheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
