Gold was chosen for particle scattering experiment as it is highly malleable( can be beaten into thin sheets) and ductile( can be drawn into thin wires). Atoms and molecules are much much tinier than sand grains. And gold was beaten into sheet width approximately 1-3 atoms size so that when tiny particles...

Gold was chosen for particle scattering experiment as it is highly malleable( can be beaten into thin sheets) and ductile( can be drawn into thin wires). Atoms and molecules are much much tinier than sand grains. And gold was beaten into sheet width approximately 1-3 atoms size so that when tiny particles scatter, it could be observed. There are no other known metals of such malleability at that time.

A major fraction of the alpha particles bombarded towards the gold foil through it without any deflections and hence most space in atom is empty some a-particles deflects a little so +ve charge is not uniformly distributed it is in a small volume very few are deflected back and even fewer particles...

Gold is more electropositive not others so other metals will not give accurate results

Calculate the mass of 0.5 mole of N2 gas (mass from mole of molecule).
Molar mass of N2 is 28(since atomic weight of nitrogen is 14and forN2=14*2). So mass of 1 mole of N2 is 28g.Therefore mass of 0.5 mole is 28/2 =14g
