Suppose protons were emitted rather than electrons. How would this affect the experiment?
1 answer:
Suppose protons were emitted rather than electrons then it affects the experiment as the mean velocity of proton will be less then mean velocity electron .
The mass of proton is greater than the mass of electrons but charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton . So , due to difference in the mass of electron and proton there will be some effects. We can conserve the electric energy which is equal to the qe .
The kinetic energy = 1/2
Now changing the electric potential energy into kinetic energy
v = √2qe/m
The mean velocity of proton will be less then mean velocity electron .

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.
Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
