Why do atoms need to be ionised in a mass spectrometer?
it is necessary to ionize the compouned or element used in the expirement because ONLY electrically charged particles (IONS) are affected by the magnetic field . (i.e : only ions are deflected by the magnetic field )Hope that this was helpful !!
Why beta particle is not deflected by strong magnatic field?
A beta particle is deflected by a magnetic field. Perhaps you are thinking of the neutron or the gamma ray?
What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
Is not deflected by a magnetic field?
Photons, gluons, and neutrinos have no charge, and are thus not deflected by a magnetic field. Quarks, with a charge of +2/3 for the up, and -1/3 for the down, are deflected by magnetic fields, however, quarks assemble into larger particles such as protons and neutrons. The neutron, two down quarks and one up quark, has a net charge of zero, and is also not deflected by magnetic fields.
Is not deflected by a magnetic field by the radioactive emission?
Gamma rays .
What experiments did Thompson do?
J. J. Thomson observed that cathod rays are deflected by an electric field - and from this discovered the electron.
What experimrents did jj Thomson?
After experiments with cathode rays Thomson discovered that these rays are deflected in an electrical field; and from this he proposed the existence of electrons.
What statement best explains why fluid is deflected?
The Coriolis effect best explains why fluid is deflected.

Why were few alpha particles deflected?
some of alpha particles were deflected through an angle of 90 degree
Would a neutron be deflected by a maagnetic field why or why not?
Since a neutron has no charge, it would not be deflected by a magnetic field.
What did Thomson conclude about the particles in cathode rays?
they are deflected toward positive terminal in an electric field
If an particle hits a gold nucleus in a head on collision the particle will not be deflected very much?
False, the particle will be deflected immensely.
X-rays are not deflected by magnetic fieldWhat does this indicate about yhe nature of rays?
That they have neither a negative or positive charge
Why beta particle is not deflected by strong magnatic field?
A beta particle is deflected by a magnetic field. Perhaps you are thinking of the neutron or the gamma ray?
