Gold foil is a very thin sheet of gold used for art and craft projects. It is so thin that it breaks if you handle it too roughly. Aluminum foil is made to seal or cover items and is thick and bendable.

What is difference between the conductivity of aluminum and gold?
what's the different between a superintendent and a manager
What can be flattened into sheets?
Yes, but if you are trying to find the physical property of that example, the physical property would be malleability.
What materials are needed for rutherfords gold foil experiment?
gold foil.
What is the difference between gold and pure gold?
gold can have impurities

Where can one purchase gold foil online?
There are many places where one could purchase gold aluminum foil online. One could purchase gold foil from online shopping websites such as Amazon or eBay.
Does foil conduct electricity?
If it's a metallic foil, it will conduct electricity in most cases. Aluminum, copper, gold, etc.
If Rutherford made bombarded aluminum foil with alpha particles instead of gold foil what observations would he have used?
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 metal is used as silver foil?
depends on foil:aluminumgold (usually called leaf not foil, most common use is lettering on leather bound books)silver (usually called leaf not foil, most common use is lettering on leather bound books)tin (used for purpose aluminum foil is used for, rarely seen today)lead (often used in roofing to prevent leaks from pooling water, thick for foil)etc.
Which element is rolled into a foil?
Lots of elements can be rolled very to make a foil:gold - used as gold leaf for gilding wood and many other objectssilver - much cheaper than gold and was used to wrap things beforealuminum came along - used to wrap food, chocolate, etc.
What is the difference between a gold foil seal and a red foil seal?
Seal to an paper document shows that it is issued by an authenticated person, and color of the seal dose not affect the legality of paper document.
How would the results of rutherford's experiment with an aluminum foil be similar to his gold foil experiment?
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.
Experiment to test the absorpion of beta particles by thin sheets of aluminium?
Rutherford shot beta particles at gold foil to discover protons, but i have never heard of an aluminum foil experiment.
Franklin Mint gold foil replica stamp specifications?
There is almost no gold value all in these foil replicas. It is a layer an atom or two thick on aluminum. There is little extra value to these replicas and stamp collectors typically do not want them in their collections.
What can be flattened into sheets?
Yes, but if you are trying to find the physical property of that example, the physical property would be malleability.
What materials are needed for rutherfords gold foil experiment?
