J.J. Thomson discovered in his cathode-ray tube experiment that electrons have what kind of charge?

• positive

• negative

• neutral

Answer explanation

Because the ray was attracted towards the positively charged metal plate, J.J. Thomson discovered that electrons have a negative charge

The main ideas behind John Dalton's atomic model were what?

• electrons surround the nucleus in specific energy levels

• the atom is indivisible can't be divided into smaller parts

• the atom is mostly empty space with a dense and positive nucleus

• electrons are located inside a positive sea of the atom
