Answer 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ANSWER ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✔ RUTHERFORD'S GOLD FOIL EXPERMIENT ➡ Lord Rutherford, a scientist from New Zealand directed a stream of alpha particles towards a very thin gold foil. He selected a gold foil because he wanted as thin a layer as possible and also gold is the most malleable metal.

✔ OBSERVATION

➡ (1) Most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil.

➡ (2) Some alpha particles were slightly deflected from their straight path.

➡ (3) Very few alpha particles were either deflected by very large angles or completely bounced back.

✔ CONCLUSION

➡ Heavy metals such as platinum will show the same observation with alpha particles as shown by gold foil, but if light nuclei like lithium is used then fast moving alpha particles may even push the light nucleus aside and may not be deflected back.
