who discovered electron and how
Answers
Answer:
Hi.
JJ Thomson's experiments helped in changing the ideas about an atom that existed at that time and in farming new concepts. He proved that the rays originating from the cathode are made up of negatively charged particles. He also made it clear that these negatively charged particles possess mass and energy. when an electric discharge was passed , all the gases gave the same negative particles irrespective of the nature of the gas. hence he substantiated that these particles are common in all substances. he proved that they are much smaller than the atom and are part of atoms.
in 1897, the scientific world approved the discoveries of JJ Thomson. thus it is proved that an atom can be divided. The negatively charged particles in the atom is the electron.
