The electron is discovered using a
cathode-ray tube.
What are the two charged plates of the cathode-ray tube?
cathode and anode.
used the cathode ray tube, and the electromagnetic theory to determine the ratio of electric charge to the mass of the individual negatively charged particle
Joseph John Thomson
Since the cathode ray is attracted to the positively-charged plate and repelled by the negatively-charged plate, it must consist of negatively-charged particles.
This negatively charged particle was called…?
electron
was able to quantify the charge of the electron in his oil-drop experiment in 1906.
Robert Millikan
In Millikan’s experiment, he used a
fine spray of ionized oil
During the early 1900s, two features of atoms had become clear.
Atoms contain electrons.
Atoms are electrically neutral.
decided to use alpha particles to probe the structure of the atoms, together with his associate Hans Geiger and an undergraduate named Ernest Maden.
Ernest Rutherford
The positively charged particles in the nucleus are called
Protons
