Rutherford's experimenters were Hans Geiger, and Ernest Marsden, both of whom went on to have worthwhile science careers. The metal foil used in the Rutherford experiments was gold, for this foil amy be made extremely thin by careful beating, whilst still being imperforate.

What is the use of radium in Rutherford experiment in the lead box?
Radium is a Radioactive material that produces Alpha only
What experiment did daltons use for his atomic theory?
dalton wasnt the one who experimented with gold, rutherford was the one who did the gold foil experiment.
How do you describe Rutherford's experiment?
How about a ton of drawings and illustrations? Use the link below and there will be more than you can do. By the way, the experiment is usually called the Geiger-Marsden Experiment as it was done by these two researchers. There is a link to the Wikipedia post on this experiment below as well.
How do we use Rutherford's gold foil experiment today?
The Rutherford gold foil experiment is also known as the Geiger-Marsden experiments. In them, alpha particle scattering was measured, and showed how a large focus was found in such a way as to describe atoms having a dense nucleus. This experiment is not used for much today in any field other than focused particle physics, wherein it is the basis of most other calculations involving how atoms work.
Why did Rutherford use alpha particles rather than electrons for his scattering experenment?
Because the alpha particles are positively charged. In order for the experiment to work, the positive alpha particles must be attracted to the negatively charged gold foil.

What type of metal did Rutherford use in his experiment?
Brilliant experimental physicist and one of the founders of nuclear physics

How can I get transportation from Newark Airport to East Rutherford?
You could use Rutherford Car Service or get an Uber.
Who was the first US President to use a telephone in office?
Rutherford B. Hayes
How was Bohr's model of the atom consistent with the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment?
he helped build the atomic bomb and found evidence that electrons are arranged according to the energy levels uh, I'm still confused a bit there has to be more. he made the planetary model of the atom and ....
What material was use to make a famous bridge in Shropshire in 1779 a town now being named after it?

How do you use a sentence of experiment?
Let's do another experiment!
Why use factorial experiment?
use of factorial experiment instead of single factor experiments
