The discovery of the electron proved the positive charge of the atom when sending an electric spark across an air gap from one electrode to another, called the photoelectric effect.

How did the discovery of electrons show that there are also positively charge parts of an atom?

The discovery of electrons through cathode ray experiments by J.J. Thomson demonstrated the existence of negatively charged particles. It raised the question of what positively charged particles balanced the charge in an atom. Subsequent experiments, like the gold foil experiment by Rutherford, led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus containing positively charged protons, thereby revealing the existence of both negatively and positively charged components within an atom.

1 Name all the subatomic parts in a atom?

protons (positively charged) (+)Neutrons (Uncharged)Electrons (Negatively charged)(-)


What electrical charge do these parts have?

the protons are positively charged particles neutrons are particles that have no electric charge and electrons are negatively charged particleus.


Which part of an atom is involved in charging objects?

The electrons in an atom are responsible for charging objects through the transfer of charge. When electrons are transferred from one object to another, one object becomes positively charged (loses electrons) and the other becomes negatively charged (gains electrons).


What is the three parts of an atom and the characteristics?

positively charged protons in the nucleus neutral neutrons in the nucleus negatively charged electrons outside the nucleus


What is an atom's subatomic parts?

Positively charged protons and neutral neutrons (inside the nucleus) and negatively charged electrons revolving outside the nucleus.


The difference between a positive and a negative charged atom?

First, if it is charged it is called an 'ion' and if it is positively charged it has lost one or more electrons from its outer parts and if it is negatively charged it has captured one or more electrons into its outer parts - as compared with its ground state which is when it has the same number of negative electrons in its outer parts as there are positively charged protons in its center and is therefore electrically neutral. all atoms are neutral, they have the same number of negatively charged electrons as they have positively charged protons (which is equal to the atomic number of that atom). metals can lose all of their valence electrons to get a complete outer orbital electron configuration, to form positively charged cations (+1, +2, and +3). They lose negatively charged electrons so they end up positive. ions are not atoms, they are atoms that have lost electrons or non-metals can gain electrons to fill their valence orbitals (becoming -1, -2, or -3). these nonmetals with extra electrons are anions, but anions are not atoms, they are atoms with extra electrons.


What discovery lead j.j Thomson to decide that atoms were not indevisble but are actually composed of smaller parts?

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron through his experiments with cathode rays, which led him to propose the "plum pudding" model of the atom - where negatively charged electrons are embedded in a positively charged "pudding." This discovery challenged the idea that atoms were indivisible, suggesting they were composed of smaller parts.


A positively charged part of an atom?

Proton. The three parts of an atom are the Proton (positively charged) Neutron (no charge) and electron (negatively charged). The Protons and Neutrons make up the center or nucleus, and the electrons are in a cloud outside the nucleus.
