What differences would you expect if beryllium foil were used instead of gold foil? What would happen if Rutherford used beryllium foil?
Why did Rutherford not use Aluminium? Can a thin Aluminium foil be used in place of gold in Rutherford experiment? Why Aluminium foil Cannot be used in alpha particle scattering? Can aluminum foil serve purpose in alpha scattering experiment? When a silver foil was used in an alpha ray scattering?
Is Aluminium soft and malleable? Is Aluminium stronger than steel? What are the disadvantages of aluminum? What temperature does aluminum become malleable? How many joules does it take to melt aluminum? Aluminium comes from a material called bauxite. Titanium comes from the minerals rutile and ilmenite. Option B: Aluminium, obtained from the Bauxite Ore, is perfect metal to use in the manufacturing of airplanes. The properties of aluminium like that of strength, lightweightness, predictability and inexpensiveness makes it the best material to be used in the aircraft manufacturing industry.
