Question

What do you think would be the observation if the alpha particle scattering experiment is carried out using a foil of a metal other than gold ?

Answer 1

the observation's with gold foil are :
1. he saw that all most all the alpha particles pass straight through the gold foil.
2. only some of the alpha particles got deflected in very small angles.
3. rarely a only few got deflected by the larger angles.
4. because of the space inside the atom all most all particles pass through gold foil.
the observations with other metals :
 the alpha particles may or mat not pass though the metal. but I guess they can pass through  the metal because of the space inside the atom. I can say this because of the experiment carried by the Ruther ford. so I think the particles may not scatter and just pass through the metal.

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

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.
