Why rutherford used gold foil not light atoms for his experiment? |
|
Answer» Rutherford lacked the endurance for this work, which is why he left it to his younger COLLEAGUES. For the metal FOIL, they tested a VARIETY of METALS, but they preferred gold because they could make the foil very THIN, as gold is very malleable. |
