How did Thomson discover the electron?

Chemistry

Hoochie [10]3 years ago
4 0

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that  causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is  cathode to  the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.

How do the interactions that are broken in water when it is boiled compare with those broken when water is electrolyzed? Boiling
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Boiling water breaks intermolecular attractions and electrolysis breaks covalent bonds.

Explanation:

When water boils, hydrogen bonds are broken between adjacent water molecules. The hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms of water molecules.  

During electrolysis, water dissociates in the presence of electric current. Here, ions are formed in the process. Therefore, covalent bonds are broken here.

Nearly all ionic compounds are solids at room temperature in the solids the total blank charge is balanced by the
alexgriva [62]
Ionic compounds are composed of two ions: a positive and a negative ion. For neutral ionic compounds, these charges cancel out. For example, NaCl is a neutral atom which comes from a strong acid HCl and a strong base NaOH. Because they are both strong, the charges balance out and it comes out as neutral.
