In 1897 J.J.Thomson conducted an experiment in which he took a discharge tube with very less gas molecules in it.When he connected a cathode and an anode, some particles which he called cathode rays passed from the cathode to anode.
OBSERVATION:
@when a negative and positive plate were kept, the negative plate repelled the rays while the positive one attracted them. This means the ray's particles are negatively charged. @if a paddle wheel was kept in the path of the ray, the wheel started rotating, which means, these particles have energy.
@if an object and screen were kept, the shadow of the object fell on the screen after a green glow.This means these particles always move in a straight line.
It was then discovered by J.J.Thomson that these particles were electrons!
i have no idea when it was discovered
he discovered electrons
Positive charge particles are called Protons Negatively charged particles are called Electrons Neutrons have no charge Protons was discovered by Ruther Ford Electrons was discovered by JJ Thompson Neutons was discovered by James Chadwick
J.J. Thomson.
The scientist who discovered the charge of electrons was J.J. Thomson. He determined the charge-to-mass ratio of electrons through his experiments with cathode rays in the late 19th century.
i did
Electrons
cause
It was Ernest Rutherford who discovered that atoms are mostly composed of empty space with electrons orbiting a very dense nucleus.
He discovered it 1897.
Cathode rays (later revealed to be electrons).
