Concept #1: Rutherford Gold Foil Oil Experiment

Example #1: The gold foil Rutherford used in his experiment had a thickness of approximately 6.0 x 10-3 mm. If a single gold atom has a diameter of 2.9 x 10-8 cm, how many atoms thick was Rutherford’s foil?

Concept #2: Nuclear Model

Example #2: Rutherford’s experiment with alpha particle scattering by gold foil established that:
