Question

what do you think would be the observation if the particle scattering experiment is carried out using the point of metal other than gold​

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.

Hope this helped you!

Answer 2

Answer:

on using the file of heavy metal like gold example Platinum silver etc. the observation will be same but if the foil is of light metal example sodium magnesium etc. the massive A particle make a poster nucleus aside and may not be deflected back
