Question

Explain efforts made by scientists to explain the structure of the atom.

Answer 1

The first experiment to really delve into the structure was Thompon's experimental proof that "cathode rays" were rays of electrons, which in turn had to be constituents of the atom (J. J. Thomson). Next was Millikan's "Oil Drop Experiment", which established the mass/charge ratio of the electron.
