LC Chem Ch 2 The Atom (History)

Dalton's atomic theory states:

• that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and destructible building blocks

• that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks

• that all matter is composed of particles, divisible and indestructible building blocks

• that all matter was composed of particles, divisible and destructible building blocks

Who came up with the name "electron" for the fundamental unit quantity of electricity? (Later applied to the sub-atomic particle)

• Stoney

• Rutherford

• Crookes

• Thompson

What is the name of the stream of negative particles that travel from the cathode to the anode shown in this picture?

What did the oil drop experiment show?
