Question

In the Gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden, that paved the way for Rutherford's model of an
atom, - 1.00% of the d-particles were found to deflect at angles > 50°. If one mole of d-particles were
bombarded on the gold foil, compute the number of d-particles that would deflect at angles less than
50°.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the gold foil experiment of Geiger and Marsden, that paved the way for Rutherford’s model of an atom, ~ 1.00% of the a-particles were found to deflect at angles > 50°. If one mole of a-particles were bombarded on the gold foil, compute the number of a-particles that would deflect at angles less than 50°.
