Question

What do u think would be the observation if the alpha particle scattering experiment is carried out using a foil of a metal other than gold?? ( plz help its difficult :( ​

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.
