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.
<span>The radioactive uranium decays into its daughter product, lead. It would do this in magma as well, as nuclear decay depends on forces within the atom, not on the phase of the material in which the atom is a part.</span>
A binary compound is a compound that contain two different chemical elements in it. These compounds may be molecular or may also exist in other forms such as solid. In this case Barium and Beryllium are not binary compounds since they are independent elements, Calcium hydroxide is also not a binary compound since it has more than two chemical elements. Therefore,carbon dioxide is the binary compound since it contains two chemical elements ( carbon and oxygen)
