Why did Thomson's results from experimenting with cathode rays a big change in scientific thought about atoms?

Talja [164]2 years ago

Thomson's results from experiments with cathode ray tubes produced a big change in scientific thought about atoms because <u>his results gave the first evidence that atoms were made of smaller particles.</u>

Particularly, he proved the existence of negatively charged sub-atomic particles that are called as electrons which together with a positively charged nucleus form an atomic unit.

Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup." Thomson also made the following conclusions from his experiment:

  • The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.
  • The particles must be as part of an atom because the mass of each particle is only ~ 1/2000  compared to one hydrogen atom mass.
  • Within the atoms of all elements, these subatomic particles are found.

Initially it was controversial, but later Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. After then, his cathode ray particles were given a  name called as electrons.

Which statementsabout a neutral atom are correct? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.

Alkaline batteries have the advantage of putting out constant voltage until very nearly the end of their life. How long will an
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 1.58 V

Power, P = 1 W

1 A.h

Charge, Q = 1 A.h = 1 x 3600 A.s = 3600 C

Power x time = Voltage x charge

1 x t = 1.58 x 3600

t = 1.58 x 3600 second

t = 1.58 hours

What's the basic unit of the measurement of power
Jobisdone [24]

Power is the RATE at which energy changes or flows.

The unit of energy is the Joule, so a unit of power is the Joule/second.

That unit has the special name "<em>Watt</em>".

Your question is not necessarily a question. It's also a statement, You could write

"<em>Watt's the basic unit of the measurement of power</em>".

If the period of the pendulum is tripled, what is the length of the string increased by?
Nitella [24]
The period of the pendulum doesn't determine the length of the string. 
It's the other way around.

The period of the pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.
So if you want to triple the period, you have to make the string nine times
as long as it is now.
