Chapter 21, Problem 21.26(choose chapter or problem)
Rutherford was able to carry out the first nuclear transmutation reactions by bombarding nitrogen-14 nuclei with alpha particles. 1n the famous experiment on scattering of alpha particles by gold foil (Section 2.2), however, a nuclear transmutation reaction did not occur. What is the difference between the two experiments? What would one need to do to carry out a successful nuclear transmutation reaction involving gold nuclei and alpha particles?
