Expert Solution
Step 1

Thickness of the aluminum foil = 0.0150 cm

                                                         = 0.0150 *10-2 m 

Radius of the alluminium atom = 143 pm

Diameter of the alluminium atom = 2*143 pm 

                                                             = 286 pm 

                                                              = 286* 10-12 m 

We have to calculate the thickness of the aluminum foil in terms of the number of aluminum atoms.
