If an atom gains an electron and gets a negative charge because of it, it is a negatively charge ion AKA an anion.
Answer:There are 18 electrons and 17 protons, so the chlorine atom has become a charged chlorine ion with a charge of negative one (-1). ... When it does, the sodium atom becomes a sodium ion with a charge of positive one (+1). Chlorine, as mentioned above, desperately wants an electron so it can fill its outer electron level.
Answer : J. J. Thomson’s experiment disproved the theory that an atom is indivisible.
Explanation : Scientist J.J. Thomson did his experiment to prove the existence of electrons. He did the experiment using a cathode ray tube, in which a vacuum-sealed tube with a cathode and anode on one end was placed which created a beam of electrons that traveled towards the other end of the tube. This was the theory that proved that atoms consists of many subatomic particles namely electrons.
When waves bounce back after meeting a surface, it is called Reflection.
I would say the correct answer would probably be that to explain the approx 100 years between Dalton (early 1800's) atomic theory and JJ Thomson's discovery of the smaller particle the electron was that Thomson had the use of a cathode ray tube that helped to determine the existence of negatively charged particles about 2000 times lighter than a hydrogen atom and therefore a smaller particle than the atom. The cathode ray tube was not invented until 1897, when Thomson began experimenting with it.
