by definition, yes. All atoms are made of "sub"atomic particles.

What subatomic particle did the gold foil experiment discover?
Rutherford's gold foil experiment did not discover the existence of any subatomic particles, but it did show the existence of a small, tightly packed, positively charged nucleus and thus led to the discovery of protons.
Why is gold foil used in the alpha particle scattering?
Hi I believe the answer to be because of its high density. Gold or Aurum (Au) is very dense and hence will 'reflect'and 'deflect' alpha particles, which are helium nuclei. Beta particles are electrons Hope that helps
The kind of particle Rutherford used to shoot through gold foil?
Rutherford shot high-energy alpha particles (two protons and two neutrons, or a helium nucleus) at the gold foil. A small fraction of these alpha particles bounced back, and that is how Rutherford discovered the nucleus.
Why alfa particles do not get attracted by the electrons present in the atom when gold foil is bambarded by positively charged helium ions?
They do get attracted, but their momentum is too high to be "captured" by the electrons.
In Rutherford's gold foil experiment what particles were fired at a thin piece of gold?
I believe they are called the Alpha particles and yes, they did pass through a sheet of gold foil.
Is true about gold and helium?
They are made of subatomic particles (APEX)
What statement is true about gold and silver?
They are both made of subatomic particles.
What is true about silver and gold?
they are both made up of subatomic particles
How many subatomic particles is there in Gold?
Gold has 79 protons and electrons and also 118 neutrons.
Who and how did the subatomic particles get discovered for protons?
Ernest Rutherfod in 1917-1919 after the gold-foil experiment.
What terms of subatomic particles did gold have?
Gold has 79 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a gold isotope = Mass number - 79
What subatomic particle did the gold foil experiment discover?

All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of what type of subatomic particle?
All elements are made of the same subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Oxygen and Gold are both made out of these same particles, just in different numbers. There is one element that lacks a neutron, and that is hydrogen-1, but it is still made of protons and electrons, in this case, one of each.
Who identified cathode rays as subatomic particles?
Experiments with cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron.

Why did the path of only some alpha particles deviate in Rutherford experiment?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei. As such, they are repelled by other positively-charged nuclei. In Rutherford's experiment, he used gold foil. Since gold atoms have large, massive nuclei, the alpha particles were easily repelled by the large gold atom nuclei, and they were scattered in different directions.
What subatomic particle determines which element it is?
The number of protons in an atom determines which element it is (i.e Silver-47 protons vs. Gold-79 protons)
