20 Questions
Who identified the electron in the atom?
J.J. Thomson
What did E. Goldstein discover in 1886, which ultimately led to the discovery of another sub-atomic particle?
E. Goldstein discovered canal rays, which were positively charged radiations.
What is the charge and mass of a proton?
Charge: plus one, Mass: approximately 2000 times that of the electron
How is an electron represented?
An electron is represented as 'e–'.
What did J.J. Thomson propose about the structure of an atom?
An atom consists of a positively charged sphere and the electrons are embedded in it.
What is the charge and mass of an electron?
Charge: minus one, Mass: considered to be negligible
What did the discovery of electrons and protons inside the atom lead to?
The failure of Dalton's atomic theory's aspect of indivisibility and indestructibility of the atom.
What were some of the questions that arose regarding atoms and molecules?
What makes the atom of one element different from the atom of another element, and are atoms really indivisible, as proposed by Dalton, or are there smaller constituents inside the atom.
What were the first indications that atoms are not indivisible?
The results of studying static electricity and the condition under which electricity is conducted by different substances.
What was the major challenge before the scientists at the end of the 19th century?
To reveal the structure of the atom as well as to explain its important properties.
