- Textbook QuestionWhat fraction of the a particles in Rutherford's gold foil experimentare scattered at large angles? Assume the gold foilis two layers thick, as shown in Figure 2.9, and that the approximatediameters of a gold atom and its nucleus are 270pm and 1.0 * 10–2 pm, respectively. Hint: Calculate the crosssectional area occupied by the nucleus as a fraction of thatoccupied by the atom. Assume that the gold nuclei in eachlayer are offset from each other.1543views2rank
