Would particles pass straight through gold foil?

No, most particles would not pass straight through gold foil. Gold is a dense material that effectively blocks or deflects particles like alpha particles due to its high atomic number and density. This property is the basis for Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment which led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.


Where would gold deposits be found and where would they be traded?

Gold deposits would be found in the Nile river, and this would be traded in the middle of Africa. (:


What is the process of panning for gold?

Panning for gold involves using a shallow metal pan to separate gold particles from other sediment in a river or stream. Miners swirl the pan in the water to allow the heavier gold to settle to the bottom while the lighter sediment washes away. This process is repeated until only the heavier gold particles remain in the pan.


How do gold get into rivers?

Gold gets into rivers primarily through the process of erosion and weathering of gold-bearing rocks. Over time, natural forces such as water, wind, and ice break down these rocks, releasing gold particles. These particles are then transported by rivers and streams, where they can accumulate in sediment. Additionally, human activities such as mining can also introduce gold into river systems.


How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment?

The particles would stay on the side of the bank and be known as a runoff.

Why you pan for gold in a river?

If u tried to dig for gold u would have to put it back in the river so the mud would wash off BUT the gold would go off TOO so u should use a pan, bottom line, ITS EASIER.

Do particles in a cold river have more energy than particles in the air?

No because the particles in the air are more spaced out than the ones in the cold river also makeing it faster than the particles in the river.

What is difference gold between sand and gold dust?

Gold dust is finely ground gold particles, while gold sand contains a higher concentration of gold particles mixed with sand. Gold sand is often found in river beds or near water sources, while gold dust can be found in various geological formations. Both gold dust and gold sand can be panned or mined for gold extraction.
