He knew that in a vacuum tube metals can be made to emit streams of negative charge which were then called cathode rays. If atoms are neutral and can produce negative charge, there must be positive charge there too.
The cathode rays were deflected.
J.J. Thomson's theory of the atom, proposed in the late 19th century, suggested that atoms are composed of even smaller particles called electrons embedded in a positively charged "pudding" like structure. This model is known as the "plum pudding model." Thomson's discovery of the electron through cathode ray tube experiments provided key evidence for his atomic theory.
John Dalton's atomic theory indicated that atoms were indivisible spheres. When JJ Thomson did his work with cathode ray tubes, he discovered that atoms contain electrons, which meant that the atom is not indivisible, that there are smaller particles within.
An object that does not contain equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge is considered to be charged. It may have a net positive charge (if it has more positive charges) or a net negative charge (if it has more negative charges).
Yes, an ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive or negative charge. A positive ion is called a cation, while a negative ion is called an anion.
The cathode rays were deflected.
the no of positive charges are equal to negative charges (protons = electrons) in any neutral atom.
Electrons contain negative charges, and protons contain positive charges.
No, positive objects can contain a mix of positive and negative charges. For example, in an atom, the nucleus contains positive protons while the surrounding electron cloud contains negative electrons.
In 1897, a British scientis named J.J. Thomson.
Thomson appreciated in 1897 that the cathode rays are formed from negative electrically charged very small particles. These particles are the electrons. From this Thomson concluded that the atom is not indivisible and also that the atom must contain and a positive charged particle.
The atomic nucleus contain nucleons: protons and neutrons; these particles are formed from quarks and gluons. The proton has an electrical positive charge of 1; the neutron has not electrical charge.
An atom contains charged particles called protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. Protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
J J Thomson
Electrons were discovered using cathode rays by the English physicist J.J. Thomson. The nucleus was later discovered by Ernes Rutherford (a student of Thomson) as well as the proton. Neutrons were discovered by James Chadwick, a British scientist, after Irene Joliot- Curie discovered that when alpha particles were bombarded into a piece of beryllium, a beam was produced (which could go through almost anything).

Yes, liquids can contain electrically charged particles, such as ions. In some liquids, molecules can dissociate into ions, carrying positive or negative charges. These charged particles can contribute to the electrical conductivity and other properties of the liquid.
