Q

Why would the alpha particles be deflected by a smaller angle if the thin metal foil was made of a lighter element?

A

The nuclei of lighter elements contain fewer protons. This means they have a lower charge. Each alpha particle will, therefore, experience a smaller electric force acting on it and so deflect by a smaller angle.
