Best Answer

The experiment showed the relation of positive/negative charges. The beam was made of positively charged ions, which were repelled.

-there is another answer to this question that says " because it was attracted to the positive charged plate" this is FALSE, this is just a person trying to make a smart remark.

---------

Cathode rays are a beam of electrons; electrons are elementary particles with a negative electrical charge.

What did J J. Thomsons experiment show?

Thomson set out to prove that the cathode rays produced from the cathode were actually a stream of negatively charged particles called electrons.


What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?

The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.


Are electrons repelled by the nucleus?

Yes, because an electron is negatively charged, and opposite charges repel.

Bacterial cell Acidic dyes carry what charge?

They carry negative charge and are repelled by negatively charged cell structures. Basic dyes are opposite (carry positive charge) and are attracted to negatively charged cell structures.

Rutherford propose center of the atom was negatively charged nucleus?

true but his experiment proved him wrong :)


Why did the path of only some alpha particles deviate in Rutherford experiment?

Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei. As such, they are repelled by other positively-charged nuclei. In Rutherford's experiment, he used gold foil. Since gold atoms have large, massive nuclei, the alpha particles were easily repelled by the large gold atom nuclei, and they were scattered in different directions.


Acidic Congo red does not contain carbon particles like Nigrosin but can give the appearance of a negative stain What is the basis for this stain?

Acidic Congo red is negatively charged, so it is repelled by the negatively charged cytoplasm, and gathers around the cell wall instead, leaving the cell clear and unstained.


Why is tin foil attracted to a negatively charged surface?

When a negatively charged surface approaches a piece of foil, electrons in the foil move to the far side, as they are repelled by the negative charge. This means that the side near the charged surface is positively charged while the far side is negatively charged. Since the electrical force decreases with increasing distance, the attraction experience by the positive near side of the foil will be slightly stronger than the repulsive force of the negative far side. As a result, the foil will experience a net attraction to the charged surface.
