1.

The correct order of increasing number of alpha particles passing undeflected through the foils of Au. Ag, Cu and Al of 1000 atoms thickness each in a simulated alpha particle scattering experiment of Rutherford would be1. Au < Ag < Cu < Al 2. Al < Cu < Ag < Au3. Au < Cu < Al < Ag 4. Ag < Cu < Al < Au

Answer»

Correct option: 1. Au < Ag < Cu < Al

Explanation: 

Since decreasing order of the size of atom or nucleus :

Au > Ag > Cu > Al

∴ The correct order of increasing number of alpha particles passing undeflected through the foils of Au. Ag, Cu and Al of 1000 atoms thickness each in a simulated alpha particle scattering experiment of Rutherford would be

Au < Ag < Cu < Al

Reason : As the size of nucleus increases, the deflection of alpha particles also increases for same thickness of foil.
