Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
Explanation:
Since liquid isopropanol is a polar liquid and water is also a polar solvent. So, when both of them are added together then according to the like dissolves like principle they get dissolved.
At the molecular level, the polar molecules of isopropanol get attracted towards the polar molecules of water at the surface of water.
As a result, water molecules get surrounded by isopropanol. Thus, water molecules enter the solution and evenly spread into the solution.
I think it is called condensated matter
