In Rutherford experiment if light atoms used instead of heavy elements than what change is observed in results ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Deviated `alpha`- particles are less and bounce back `alpha`- particles are least . Because in heavy atom the nuclear can scatter more `alpha`- particle .
If lighter atoms are used like aluminium than their nuclear possess less mass less charge so derivation is alsoo loss.
