The scattering angles would have changed, but the qualitative results would also change: the reason Rutherford chose gold was because it is EXTREMELY malleable. One can stretch gold foil until it is only a few atoms thick in places, which is not possible with aluminum. If the foil were too thick, there would be no transmission of particles at all; the whole point was to demonstrate that most alpha particles passed through unchanged, but some of them scattered, which is only possible with a VERY thin foil.
What Rutherford would have done was figure out the particles in the aluminum foil then take the alpha particles and mix them together. I think he would observe the protons, neutrons and electrons and observe the difference between the aluminum foil and gold foils movement of the particles.
The angles formed in this experiment will have different angles than using gold foil as the atomic number is less in aluminium than the gold.As aluminium foil is more thick than of gold most of the rays wont completely pass through the foil.
Alpha particles were rejected or scattered by the atom; Rutherford and co-workers assumed that something positive in atom reject alpha particles and concluded that the atom has a positive nucleus.
It would have been just different
You can clean the aluminum particles by dusting them away.
Aluminum particles can stay airborne for several days when released into air
One molecule of AlCl3 will dissociate into 4 particles: 1 aluminum ion
Porous means that there are gaps in the particles that allow water through. Porous aluminum is not watertight.
Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead. Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead.
they are both green on the periodic table of elements.... the alpha particles would follow the sam pattern. when the aluminum has a greater charge the particles would have a strong bend.
Rutherford shot beta particles at gold foil to discover protons, but i have never heard of an aluminum foil experiment.

You cannot protect yourself fully from aluminum particles, since they can be found in the air we breathe.

Aluminum-27 + n -> Aluminum-28 + gamma raywith a 2.3 minute half life Aluminum-28 -> beta- + Silicon-28Silicon-28 is stable.You have now transmuted one stable element to another.
6*10^23 particles in 1 mole of everything you can count. (it's same like in "12 in one dozen")

Aluminium has 15 neutrons.
it floats because the xenon gas particles are heavier that the aluminum foil's.
Aluminum foil does not biodegrade. Biodegradation only happens when microorganisms (microbes, fungi etc.) use a material as food. Aluminum foil can chemically degrade if exposed to acids or alkalis in soil or groundwater. It can be converted to aluminum oxide in a fire. It can be shredded into very small particles by abrasion, the smaller particles are more apt to be oxidized or dissolved. If not exposed to this physical degradation aluminum will last for thousands of years
