How does Rutherford's model of atoms explain the deflection of alpha particles by gold foils?
hai
What were The targets used in the alpha particle atomic experiments in the early 1900's?
metal foils
Is the ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets?
Malleability. Hammer an object to thin sheets. Aluminum foils as an example
Why in gold leaf electroscope sides parallel to the gold leaf are tin foils?
They are used to store charges, like a capacitor.
How would you define gold heat eletroscope?
A gold leaf electroscope consists of two gold foils that will separate when an electric charge is applied.

In Rutherford experiment why wouldn't the electrons in the atoms of the gold foils affect the paths of the alpha particles?
Electrons are so small that they have no affect. The alpha particles were 2 protons and 2 neutrons being shot thru, even though the electrons have a negative charge..they are so small and take up so little space, the alpha particles probably n ever even came near them.

If Rutherford made bombarded aluminum foil with alpha particles instead of gold foil what observations would he have used?
The scattering angles would have changed, but the qualitative results would also change: the reason Rutherford chose gold was because it is EXTREMELY malleable. One can stretch gold foil until it is only a few atoms thick in places, which is not possible with aluminum. If the foil were too thick, there would be no transmission of particles at all; the whole point was to demonstrate that most alpha particles passed through unchanged, but some of them scattered, which is only possible with a VERY thin foil.
Why would Rutherford choose gold foil instead of magnesium foil?
The Geiger-Marsden experiment by Rutherford's assistants used a variety of metal foils, among them iron and aluminum, to provide a thin, uniform electrostatic field*, through which alpha particles should have been able to pass with little effect. But the relatively large, heavy, and positively-charged gold nuclei substantially deflected a few alpha particles, indicating that the mass of an atom was mostly concentrated in its center, with an electron cloud occupying otherwise empty space around it. * The greater the thickness of the material used, the more the alpha particles might be slowed, and they had to reach the detectors around the foil in sufficient numbers and with sufficient energy to trigger the counters.
Briefly describe Rutherford's experiment?
The Gold Foil Expirament-Rutherford A line of photons were shot through a thin piece of gold, and rutharford theorized that they should pass through. However some passed through while others deflected and some reflected backwards. It gave proof that atoms have a nucleus
Who explained the behavior of positively charged particles being deflected from a metal foils as the nucleus?
ernest Rutherford
When was Luke Foils the Villain created?
Luke Foils the Villain was created on 1916-02-14.
What help the metal bullet go through the foils?
what helps the metal bullet go thoughft the foils
What did holden buy in New York after losing the foils?
A (deer shooting) hat
How much does highlights cost?
It all depends on how many foils you get. 7 foils are about 20-30 also depending on the stylist.
What is made out of antimony?
Cans, Foils
