Chemistry

Atomic structure
Any thing that has mass and energy occupy space is called matter. Universe is called atom Atom- an externally small particle which actively participate in chemical reaction is called atom All atoms are composed by three basic subatomic particle namely electrons protons neutrons. These are called as fundamental particle because this particle is constituents of All atom particles Note- hydrogen atom consists of electrons and protons but not neutrons Discovery of electrons A electrons is a sub atomic particle which carries a unit negative charge cathode rays discharged tube experiment Electron was discovered J.J Thomson during the study of discharge tube. A cathode ray discharge tube is a glass tube it is fitted with two metallic electrodes in which one is act as cathode another is act as anode the tube is connect to vacuum pump and pressure inside the tube is reduced to 0.01mm of Hg . Now high voltage is applied (10,000volts) between the electrodes Characterizes of cathode rays 1. 2. 3. 4. Cathode are starts from cathode and move towards anode Cathode rays produced a green blow when strike glass wall beyond the anode Cathode rays are deflected by the electric and magnetic field When the rays are passed between electric field these are deflected toward positively charged plate .It shows that cathode rays carry negative charge .This negatively charged particle is called electrons.
