In Rutherford experiment of scattering of alpha particles, can we take foil of any other metal instead of gold?

a. For the calculation of average angle of scattering of a particles by a thin foil, why multiple scattering cannot be ignored in Thomson's model? b. Name the model in which it can be ignored. c. The majority of a particles pass through gases with no deflections. To what conclusion about the atomic structure does this observation lead?

Answer the following questions, which help you to understand the difference between Thomson's model and Rutherford's model better. a. Is the average angle of deflection of a-particles by a thin gold foil predicted by Thomson's model much less, about the same, or much greater than that predicted by Rutherford's model? b. Is the probability of backward scattering (i.e., scattering of a-particles at angles greater than 90^@ ) predicted by Thomson's model much less, about the same, or much greater than that predicted by Rutherford's model? c. Keeping other factors fixed, it is found experimentally that for small thickness t, the number of alpha - particles scattered at moderate angles is proportional to t.What clue does this linear dependence on t provide? d. In which model is it completely wrong to ignore multiple scattering for the calculation of average angle of scattering of alpha particles by a thin foil?

Explain the results of Rutherford alpha -particle scattering experiment.

Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment eventually led to the conclusion that
