Why do you think Thomson hypothesized that electrons must come from inside an atom?

Thomson had two pieces of evidence:
1- No matter what metal he used for the disk, the particles produced were indentical.
2- The particles had about 1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen, the lightest atom.
These experiments provided the first evidence that atoms are made of even smaller particles.

∙ 11y agoWhen Thompson declared his hypothesis, it wasn't discovered that over 99% of an atom is empty space. Therefore he did not say about a nucleus of an atom.

What did J J Thomson enjoy doing?
i have no idea what he enjoyed doing but i think it was his wonderful job working with electrons
How many electrons does Ne3s1 have?
If you think to neon the neutral atom has 10 electrons.
His theory of atomic structures led to the plum pudding model?
I don't think they have a plum pudding, but if they do you should probably check Wal-Marts or CVS something like that.
How was the overall charge distributed in the plum pudding model?
Read and figure it out In 1897, Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) had announced the discovery of a corpuscle. Others soon called it ► electron, despite Thomson's stubborn preference for his original term, borrowed from Robert Boyle (1627-91) to denote any particlelike structure. Very soon afterwards, Thomson began to think about how to explain the periodicity of properties of the chemical elements in terms of these negatively charged corpuscles as atomic constituents. Chemical properties would thus have to depend on the number and constellations of these corpuscles inside the atom. They would have to have stable positions in it, bound by electrostatic and possibly kinetic forces. Because under normal conditions chemical atoms are electrically neutral, the total electric charge of all these negatively charged electrons had to be compensated for by an equal amount of positive charge. For Thomson it was natural to assume that this positive charge was continuously distributed throughout the atom, whose radius was estimated at the time to be around 10−12 m. The very small negatively charged electrons (contemporary estimates indicated an order of magnitude of 10−15 m) were distributed in the atom like raisins inside a cake or like plums in a pudding, whence the popular nickname for Thomson's atomic model as the "plum pudding model".

Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable

Who discovered the electrons?
J. J. Thomson
What scientist said there are small negatively charged particles inside an atom?
Generally, the theoretical first is given to Richard Laming of England in 1851. More theoretical work and the term "electron" came from G. Johnstone Stoney between 1874 and 1891. The actual "discovery" is given to J. J. Thomson in 1897.
What did jj Thomson think the atom looked like?
Plum pudding. . .with negatively charged rasins and positivly charged blob
Was tom Thomson married?
I don't think so
How many siblings did Tom Thomson have?
He had around 10 i think.
Has Thomson tv stopped broadcasting?
Yep i think so
Who described the atom as a negative charges scattered through a ball of positive?
Thomson described this method. He gave plum pudding model.
What did J.J. Thomson create in chemistry?
You think probable to the discovery of isotopes (with Aston).
Why did Thomson think that atom must contain positive charges?
The cathode rays were deflected.
Where inside the electron cloud would you find an electron?
the electrons just bounce around the electron clouds freely. think about 2 spheres, a small one suspended inside a bigger one. the smaller one is the nucleus, and the big one is the cloud. the electrons just bounce around in the space between the nucleus and the cloud
Is there such thing as Kenon Thomson?
well what i think is that they made up that celebrity just for the show.but he is a good rapper.
