2. Discovery of the Electron –A cathode ray is a beam of electrons that moves between metal plates in an evacuated tube from a negative to a positive terminal. The electron beam is seen as a green beam. –These rays can be deflected by a magnet.

3. In 1897 JJ Thompson placed a positively charged plate on one side of the tube and a negatively charged plate on the other side of the tube. The beam was deflected away from the negative plate toward the positive plate. Thompson realized that the particles that made up the beam must be negatively charged, since like charges repel and opposite charges attract. By balancing the deflections made by the magnet with that made by the electrical field, Thompson was able to calculate the ratio of the charge to mass of an electron as 1.7584 X 10 11 coulomb/kilogram These particles were later named electrons.

5. 1911 E. Rutherford Gold thin foil experiment with alpha radiation through gold foil proved that the atom consisted with a very dense nucleus. Based on the particles deflection pattern, Rutherford calculated the fraction of the atomic volume occupied by the positive nuclei, that is 1 part in 10 14. The mass is so dense that a nucleus the size of a pea would have mass greater that 250 million tons. this led to the modern view of the atom.
