The electron was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J.J. Thomson and his team of British physicists. They performed experiments indicating that cathode rays really were unique particles, rather than waves, atoms or molecules as was believed earlier.

What is a non example of an electron cloud?

A non-example of an electron cloud would be a single isolated electron traveling in a vacuum. In this case, there would be no cloud formation or distribution of multiple electrons around a nucleus.


What is meant by isolated gaseous atom and why this term is used in case of ionization energy?

ionization enthalpy means the energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atom in its ground state . the isolated gaseous state is the state in which no other force of attraction acting on an atom form other atom . so that, we get the exact energy required to romove or add an electron to an atom. and here ground state is used to say that electron are stable and are not exited .. so , the ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from gaseous atom which is free from other atom in that state in which electrons are stable. by shashank
