Why did Rutherford select gold foil for his a- particles scattering experiment

Answers

Answered by anubhabswain69

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

Hope this helps!
