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.
No, magnesium and sulfur would not form an ionic compound because they are both nonmetals. Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium and sulfur would likely form a covalent compound instead.
You would just call it liquid magnesium, or molten magnesium which means the same thing.
No, magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O) typically do not form covalent bonds. Instead, they are more likely to form ionic bonds due to their large difference in electronegativity. In an ionic bond, magnesium would donate electrons to oxygen, resulting in the formation of magnesium oxide (MgO).
If you add iron to a solution of magnesium sulfate, a displacement reaction would occur, where the iron would displace the magnesium in the sulfate compound. This would result in the formation of iron sulfate and magnesium metal.
No, as magnesium is more reactive, and would 'keep' the nitrate.
No, magnesium and sulfur would not form an ionic compound because they are both nonmetals. Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium and sulfur would likely form a covalent compound instead.
Not by electromotive action; magnesium would replace copper instead. However, a divalent copper cation conceivably could replace a divalent magnesium ion in a complex mineral such as a silicate or aluminate.
If I had to choose, I would choose the tablet and 3ds XL instead of the PS4
Which of the following factors would cause a knowledgeable business writer to choose to send a business letter instead of an email message?
I'm sure that if there had ever been a President Rutherford he would have had a slogan. But since there has never been a President Rutherford I guess the answer would be "no". I wonder if you are really asking about President Rutherford B. Hayes......

No, H2O plus Mg does not form a mixture. Mixing water (H2O) with magnesium (Mg) would not result in a homogenous combination of substances. Instead, the magnesium would likely react with the water, producing magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Yes, aluminum is more electronegative than magnesium thus, resulting in a single displacement reaction. The products would be magnesium + aluminumnitrate
If Geiger and Marsden had used magnesium foil instead of gold in their famous scattering experiment, they would have observed less scattering due to the lighter mass and lower atomic number of magnesium compared to gold. This would have resulted in the alpha particles penetrating the foil with less deflection, leading to different conclusions about the structure of the atom.
