What did J J Thomson work on?
J.J. Thomson worked on cathode rays which led to his discovery of the electron. He was a physicist who was also a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
In the late 1800s experiments using cathode ray tubes led to the discovery of the electrons?
Yes, it is true: Thomson in 1897.
What is J J Thomson known for?
his discovery of the electron. it really moved atomic theories forward and led to a great number of new discoveries
Describe the discovery that demonstrate for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter?
The discovery of the subatomic particles demonstrated for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Electron was the first subatomic particle discovered by J.J. Thomson.
How is the work of Joseph John Thomson related to that of Ernest Rutherford?
Joseph John Thomson, while at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, circa 1897, discovered the electron while studying cathode rays. His conclusion was that the electron was both a carrier of electricity and a component of all atoms. Ernest Rutherford began his work at Cavendish around the same time, working on radioactivity. Returning later to the Cavendish, around 1919, after his discovery of the nucleus, he succeeded Thomson as Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics. Reference: "The Discovery of Subatomic Particles", Steven Weinberg, Scientific American Library, 1983, page 4.
What did Thomson discover about the electron?
J. J. Thomson is credited with the discovery of electrons.
Why is the jj Thomson discovery important?
it wasnt..................
Did J J Thomson's experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the neutron?
No. JJ Thomson's experiments with cathode rays lead to the discovery of the electron.
What scientist is associated with the discovery of the electron?
J.J Thomson
What scientists are associated with the discovery of the electron?
John Thomson
Who scientist discovery the electrons?
the scientist who discovered the electrons is Joseph John Thomson or simply john thomson.
Who proved the existence of the electron?
Crookes observed that the cathodic rays are deflected by a magnetic field and concluded that this beam is negatively charged. Thomson established that the beam is composed from a new type of particles called by Fitzgerald electrons. But many scientists contributed to the discovery of the electron.
How did Thomson discovery change Dalton's atomic theory?
Thomson's discovery of the electron showed that there were things smaller than the atom that could be removed from the atom. Therefor the atom was not an "uncuttable" object as Dalton had proposed.
What did JJ Thomson work with?
Discovery of electron was done by JJ Thomson. he and others studied the properties of cathode rays by conducting experiments.
Who discoved electrons?
bohr
What did J.J. Thomson create in chemistry?
You think probable to the discovery of isotopes (with Aston).
JJ Thomson won the nobel prize in 1906 for the discovery of which particle?
electron
